Parterre Garden

This is a great outdoor furniture shop and the attitude to boot. When we walked in the lady simply looked at us and as we said hello she barely acknowledged our presence and certainly made no effort to do anything else than look at her computer.
Furniture is for those who just want to spend a lot of money, there is some excellent quality pieces or furniture that requires good outdoor space.

Parterre is a truly amazing place to get outdoor furniture for your home. While there are several other outlets around Australia that sell antiques, collectables, and even sculptures, the Parterre on Bourke Street in Surry Hills is exclusively focused on contemporary outdoor furniture. Most of the brands sold at Parterre are European, for example, there are Belgian, Dutch, Spanish, and Italian designs. Each concept is strikingly (and sometimes mindbogglingly) different from the next.
Walking around the store made me yearn for a house with a sprawling garden, one that I could fill with things like contoured lounge chairs and an aluminum alfresco bar. I imagine that many of the waterfront homes in Bondi and Balmoral have patios equipped with furniture from Parterre. One really interesting find was the Italian-​designed ‘mobile cookers,’ which are basically stainless steel barbeques that kind of look like sunflowers. Everything in this store is quite pricey, but it is nonetheless fun to check out these avant-​garde products.
