One of my clients had torn this page out of Canadian House & Home (again, way to go Canada) while on vacation in Vancouver last week- I took one look at the summary they wrote about this chain of home stores, Flamant, and I was sold! The orange jute shopping bags, the little matchbooks, the gorgeously styled wares and architecture of the shops….yes, please, can I have some more?
Flamant paired with a plumbing fixture company to offer it’s own line of faucets… I’m loving these two.
They have their own paint line, which is packaged perfectly. You know I’m a sucker for great packaging! As for that in store paint chart on the wall…helloooo lovah!
This library below is sold complete with lighting and ldder- just add your books!
Same with this island with sink, all ready to plop down in your kitchen- so gorgeous!
Flamant has three of it’s own restaurants as well, to feed hungry shoppers exhausted from spending all their money! Each is styled so differently and is unique in it’s menu offerings.
They published a book called Here & Elsewhere and I’m having trouble locating a copy as most vendors say it’s out fo print and unavailable. Hopefully I can pick one up at the store when I’m in Paris!
I love thise store!! Have been in Paris. It is a touch pricey with the exchange rate and all, but I always manage to find some trinket to buy. I love the furniture. When you are in Paris go to this location..
8 Place Furstenberg, 8 Rue de l’abbaye
75006 Paris
In the 6th. It is the flagship store. It is on a beautiful sqaure with all sorts of decor, design and fabric stores on the neighborhood. You will love it. LOVE your blog…check several times a day for posts.
That library is my absolute favorite. I looooove it. Thanks!!
can't get over the library & kitchen counter/sink!!! gorgeous!!
I think i have a crush as well. what a great store. Love the yellow settee — and wall colors in the rooms at the start. Thanks for sharing, -susan
I want to take that library and plop it right into my living room. Really, really lovely.
P.S. Have you checked half.com for the book? I’ve had good luck finding out of print editions on that site.
did you say you needed someone to carry your bags in paris?!!!!
What a great store! I just emailed my cousin in Ireland to ask if she checked one out.
Along with all the other posters, the library is perfect!
How funny. I actually have the same article in my to blog about file. I totally forgot about it until now. Thanks for the reminder. What an amazing shop! You must check it out when you are in Paris!!!
This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing.
They have beautiful things! So I looked at the store locater and they have one in Kazakhstan!?! First I’ve been there and all I can say is if they have a store the US and Canada have been hugely snubbed :P
Wow!! Wish we had a store here. =)
I’m a Flamant devotee from my days as a student in Paris. The Paris location on the Place Furstenberg is not only visually gorgeous, but the locale is divine and so romantic. As an art student, it was one of my favorite places to go sketch and do watercolors. I have a set of bowls from there that I carefully hand-carried home with me once I came back to the US and every time I pull them out of the cupboard, it reminds me of that beautiful little shop.
Hi , I believe Sarah Richardson is another designer from Canada who is truly talented.

So many wonderful photos and items to select from! It’s all fabulous!
Thanks so much for this amazing post. I also wanted to move right in! I love it when a store offers their paint colors. Smart move! Who wouldn’t want to go home and try to transform a room into one of their showrooms. Paint is always a great place to start.
Always great visiting Elements of Style.

We have been to the Flamant in Brussels and in Vienna – both are worth a visit. The store in Brussels is the biggest, its located at the Sablon – a real highlight of Brussels.
They are also a wholesaler and have one of the most amazing booths at the Franfurt Fair. It is inspirational just to walk through and view their displays.
Soooooo beautiful!!!!!
I went to the website and it’s down!! :-(
I definitely do not spend enough time on your blog; it’s great and you crack me up.
