Our take

Chairish has established a profitable niche in homeware, with its focus primarily on furniture, art and home accessories. The ethos at the company is on quality rather than quantity, as the business sets a minimum listing price of $25 for the website.

With an emphasis on quality designers and vintage style, Chairish has quickly established itself as an innovator in the home improvement space. While several companies operate in this area, including One Kings Lane, Retailo, Tradeindia.com and Rapidle, Chairish has marked itself out as an innovator by launching an in-app augmented reality feature. This enables customers to visualize items within the context of their own homes.

Inspired by auction sites such as Amazon Marketplace and eBay, Chairish enables the buying and selling of goods, meaning that customers can generate money as well as locating bargains. The company is highly regarded in the industry, having been nominated for a raft of awards and raising an impressive $9 million in funding in 2023.
