WE LOVE, ELEMENTS I LOVE

By Benjamen Judd

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the QT Sydney foyers and rooms yet you really should. It is collection of themes and times and places and ideas all rolled up into one. Kind of like Surry Hills store, Elements I Love.

Originally started back in 2003 under the business title Architectural and Antique Elements before evolving into its current incarnation, including the blog and online boutique.

The store itself is a treasure trove of goodies collected from France, Belgium and all the way to Argentina and India. The result is a wonderful kaleidoscope of antiques and homewares blended from some of the most beautiful cultures in the world.

French bird-table lamps sit next to 70’s blown glass lamps; telescopes, French mirrors and antique tins are scattered amongst Belgian bookcases and cast iron sinks. It’s the kind of store that no matter how long you spend in there or how many times you go back, you will never see everything it has to offer.

Shipments of new stock also come in regularly, and according to the website there will one from France and India in the coming weeks. Just in time for Christmas!

The store is located at 2/276 Devonshire Street, Surry Hills.
