Five-step fit check for the Wishbone Chair at a gala or fundraiser.

Why it works for a gala or fundraiser

Tables sell, so table count and sponsor tables drive the plan. A Y-shaped back and hand-woven cord seat inspired by mid-century Danish design. Clean and natural, it suits modern lofts, minimalist palettes and design-forward couples.

Galas are planned by table, not guest, because sponsors buy full tables. Count tables first and round chairs up to match.

What it costs at common guest counts

What to watch for

  • Does not stack: allow more setup time.
  • No cushion: best for shorter sittings.
  • Selling partial tables and then discovering chair counts do not match table counts.
