Williams-Sonoma, Inc. 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.
Today, we bring the latest home furnishing trends to life for customers through the individual lenses of our nine distinct brands, each serving different life stages and rooms of the home and beyond.
