Rental

The Everset is a New York City furniture rental and home staging company founded by Gavin Steinberg and Jonathan Mitrani. The service provides designer-curated furniture without the commitment of ownership, aiming to make furnishing a home flexible and hassle-free. It's a new way to furnish your space.

A core part of the business is its circular rental model, designed to reduce the 12 million tons of furniture that end up in US landfills annually. When pieces reach the end of their rental life, The Everset partners with Habitat for Humanity to rehome them, giving the furniture a second life.

The company's aesthetic features sleek, modern, and Scandinavian mid-century design. Customers can rent individual items or complete curated packages, such as "The Madison" collection, for terms ranging from 3 to 24 months. This model avoids the large upfront costs of buying furniture.
