Zaffero pop-up store

By Benjamen Judd

Yes it’s true! We found it on Crown Street the other day whilst out getting some much needed sunshine slash window shopping.

Online lighting , furniture and design concept store, Zaffero, has launched a pop-up store on Crown Street just in time for Christmas. The space is amazingly industrial and is stocked with your favourite deconstructed and vintage-inspired lights from the website, as well as some incredibly fun time pieces (personally, we live like a Vegas Casino and never have any clocks on display but we’d convert for one of these).

The reason we are so excited is that Zaffero is traditionally an internet based store – this is one of the only times you will be able to get in there and see everything in action before you buy it. Not like that has ever stopped us before.

Zaffero’s aesthetic is like how we would imagine Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton would decorate a room – sleek, industrial and just a bit old-world glamour all at once. Studio floor lamps and desk lamps rest on weighty bases with exposed cords and heavy joinery. The furniture is the equally as indulgent and just a little Mad Men. In particular, the Document Chest. You can just see Joan reaching down to pull out some random files on the latest vodka campaign from the bottom drawer…

For more information check out the Zaffero website here. The pop-up store is located at 290 Crown Street, Surry Hills and will run until the end of January 2013.
