About Us

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.
