DWR Champagne Chair Contest™
Now through February 20, craft a mini modern chair from champagne cork, and enter for your chance to win up to $2,000 at DWR.
How to enter
Step 1:
Create a one-of-a-kind chair using only the foil, cap, cage, cork, and label from no more than two bottles of champagne, sparkling wine, or sparkling cider.
Step 2:
Snap a photo of your chair using a sheet of white paper as your background, ideally in natural light. (Zoom in so your entire background is white.) Make sure your image is crisp, clear and shows off your chair’s details.
Step 3:
Through February 20, 2026, post a photo of your chair to Instagram using #dwrchampagnechair, and follow and tag @designwithinreach. Or send it to us via direct message on Instagram or email: [email protected].
Design for a cause
For each champagne chair entry, MillerKnoll Foundation will donate $50 (up to $20,000 total) to Cork Collective, a non-profit dedicated to upcycling used corks into eco-friendly products – including neighborhood playground surfaces – benefitting local communities.
Founded in New York City by Rockwell Group, Amorim, Bluewell, and Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, Cork Collective has expanded into a nationwide initiative, partnering with restaurant and hospitality venues to harness the power of circularity and the potential of cork.
Prizes
This year, we’re introducing a new prize: Most Original Craftsmanship, judged by esteemed architect and founder of the Rockwell Group, David Rockwell.
Grand prize: $2,000 DWR Gift Card
Runner-up: $1,000 DWR Gift Card
