Wear Your Chair is a Pink Essay project at the intersection of furniture and streetwear. For our first WYC tshirt drop, we invited our community of “designheads” to send us their chair designs and received submissions from around the world, resulting in a piece of apparel that celebrates the diversity of our design community.
Our second edition celebrates our growing designhead community with 12 chairs from designers around the world — an homage to the transformational state of design today. Together, we’re designing the future and re-designing design culture.

"Educación Física III", curada por David Eardley y presentada por Pink Essay en FÁBRICA en Ciudad de México, es la tercera entrega de la serie de exposiciones de diseño experimental, Educación Física, que celebra la educación en diseño a través de diversas eventos, activaciones y contenido digital al tiempo que promueve espacios seguros para la exploración del diseño.
Esta edición enfatizó la diversidad del paisaje creativo de la Ciudad de México, presentando muebles de diseñadores, artistas y creadores interdisciplinarios. Sobre la base de nuestras exposiciones anteriores en Nueva York, los participantes tuvieron libertad creativa para interpretar su propia idea de "muebles", lo que resultó en una rica instantánea de la escena del diseño de la ciudad con piezas innovadoras que reflejan el talento y las perspectivas locales.

Pink Essay for Cult Classic Magazine
Spring 2023
As part of their stellar fifth issue, our team (David Eardley and Matt Pecina) was featured on 1/3 limited edition covers of Cult Classic Magazine, with a feature story written by Naomi Accardi and original feature design by Crystal Zapata.
The feature shares our story and the importance of building design community that goes beyond the constraints and obstacles created by old-fashioned systems and ways of thinking. For the cover story, Cult Classic shot our team with our favorite chairs at a community garden in the Alphabet City neighborhood in Manhattan and collaborated with our team on a weekend pop-up at Studio Guapo celebrating the magazine’s release.

Pink Essay featured in Salone di Mobile.Milano’s digital publication, highlighting our mission and Wear Your Chair 001 Exhibition:
Based between New York and Mexico City, Pink Essay’s mission is transcendental. Online, their YK2 inspired website spotlights underrepresented talent through an editorial series called Design Heads. On Instagram, they provide a community of over 100 thousand followers with a platform to showcase their work. Offline, they gather people together by curating “free for all” exhibitions and events.
Both David and Matt have a particular obsession for chairs. According to them, it’s the most democratic and ubiquitous piece of furniture, “Everybody has a chair” they say. And it is exactly this primordial item that inspired their latest exhibition titled Wear Your Chair, currently on show at Nomia in East Williamsburg, New York until November 20th. We sat down with the creative duo to learn more about the concept and their work.
