About the Company
- Williams Sonoma is a multi-channel specialty retailer of high-quality products for the home.
- Our family of brands in Australia includes the well-known retailer’s west elm, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids & Williams-Sonoma.
- Williams-Sonoma Australia Pty Ltd. is a multi-channel specialty retailer of high quality products for the home.
- In 1956, our founder, Chuck Williams, turned a passion for cooking and eating with friends into a small business with a big idea.
- He opened a store in Sonoma, California, to sell the French cookware that intrigued him while visiting Europe but that could not be found in America.
- Chuck's business, which set a standard for customer service, took off and helped fuel a revolution in American cooking and entertaining that continues today.
- In the decades that followed, the quality of our products, our ability to identify new opportunities in the market and our people-first approach to business have facilitated our expansion beyond the kitchen into nearly every area of the home.
- Additionally, by embracing new technologies and customer-engagement strategies as they emerge, we are able to continually refine our best-in-class approach to multi-channel retailing.
- Today, Williams-Sonoma, Inc. is one of the United States' largest e-commerce retailers with some of the best known and most beloved brands in home furnishings.
- Established in Australia in 2013, Williams-Sonoma Australia Pty Ltd. currently operates 20 retail locations and 4 e-commerce websites, and employs more than 350 people across corporate and retail operations.
- Discover all you need for home from our four iconic brands: Pottery Barn Australia for timeless, exclusively designed furniture, decor and gifts; Pottery Barn Kids Australia for stylish, high-quality furniture and accessories for babies and kids; west elm Australia for modern home furnishings that are authentic, approachable, affordable and sustainably produced; and Williams Sonoma Australia for the finest cookware, food and entertaining essentials.
