Design Within Reach (DWR), the leading source for modern living, is thrilled to announce the kick-off of its 20th annual Champagne Chair contest. Contest participants are invited to create miniature models of either a chair in DWR’s product assortment or an original design using only the foil, label, cap, cage and cork from no more than two champagne bottles.

This year, United States Artists was honored to be selected as DWR's nonprofit partner. For each contest entry, MillerKnoll Foundation donated $50 (up to $20,000 total) to United States Artists to support our work.
