Wishbone Chairs for a Gala or Fundraiser: Good Fit?
Scandinavian lines with a woven cord seat. Here is how the Wishbone Chair holds up for a gala or fundraiser, checked against what that event actually needs.
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
- 100 guests: about 104 chairs, $1,456 to $1,872
- 200 guests: about 208 chairs, $2,912 to $3,744
- 400 guests: about 416 chairs, $5,824 to $7,488
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.
