Unlikely Pair-ups For Charity
‘Sight Unseen’ invites creatives to collaboratively design furniture for charity sale

Online design magazine Sight Unseen has been holding Sight Unseen OFFSITE, a nomadic design fair that has been part of the New York Design Week for a few years. For this year, they have invited 13 furniture and interior designers to partner with creatives from different for creating furniture and household pieces.

The basis of the project was to connect creatives across disciplinary boundaries, from interior and furniture design to food, fashion, film, art, and music, so they could work outside their comfort zones, resulting in interesting and unexpected ideas. Some of the names are more familiar, for example, actor Jason Schwartzman has worked with Wall for Apricots to create a Marzipan Pianette. Actor Seth Rogen has collaborated with Bower for an Atlas mirror, while fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez has designed an armchair with Kelly Behun. These pieces were displayed over the weekend and are now available for purchase on 1stdibs. The proceeds of each piece will benefit a charity chosen by its creators.
