A family-owned business for over a century, Elte was founded in Paris in 1919 by Leon Tenenbaum (whose initials “LT” inspired our store’s name). Over the last 100 years, we’ve become Toronto’s source for all things home. Now under the direction of Jamie and Andrew Metrick (the great grandsons of Leon), and built on our family tradition of furniture and rug knowledge, we’re proud to continue our commitment to considered design for the home.

At Elte, we work closely with designers and craftspeople all over the world to curate the best design for home, from timeless pieces to the most distinct creations. Our standards are exacting. We believe the best design comes from collaboration, developing long-lasting relationships with makers, and championing objects that last.
