Houseof x Goods In
A part of the houseof family, Elle forms part of our PR team and is an impeccable stylist and prop-maker.
We don’t know how she finds the time, but in 2019 Elle set up her own business ‘Goods In’, an antique second-hand furniture store that sells sourced and curated pieces from the 20th century. The ‘side hustle’ of her dreams, a place where all her creative skillsets come to amalgamate: a true passion project.

Houseof x The Happiness Collective
In a scary and uncertain time, the pandemic encouraged us to reconfigure and find joy in the little things in life.

At this time, husband and wife Guy and Remi began to establish the Happiness Collective, a place to find original and affordable fine art prints that take us beyond the four walls of our homes and into the extraordinary.
