Overview

If you're a seasoned traveller (of the armchair variety or otherwise) who wants to bring a touch of here, there and everywhere to your home, then look no further than ici et la, literally meaning ‘here and there’ in French.

This Surry Hills homewares and furniture store plays host to an astounding array of antiques and found objects, many of which were sourced directly from private European collections. In true French style, ici et la is famous for the brightly striped deckhairs which herald its entrance. You can also expect to find vintage bikes suspended from the ceiling, mountains of dusty encyclopaedias and rare treasures from the time of Napoleon III’s reign.

To make way for the arrival of new stock, ici et la is holding an onsite auction on September 1, where a selection of 19th-century garden furniture, industrial design and original decorative pieces will be up for grabs. If you'd like to have a sneak peak at the pieces prior to auction day, or just want to see how the other half lives, you can head to the three remaining viewing dates at the showroom on August 30, 31 and September 1 or simply open a new browser tab and head to their online catalogue.
