Last night was the grand “garage door” opening of Rita T’s Elements For Living, a one-stop shop for spectacular art, antiques, and home furnishings.

Rita Thacker’s lifetime of collecting and buying converged into the luxurious opening of her public showroom in Chicago’s chic furniture district.

From contemporary furniture to oversized antique armoires and camels (yes, really), beautiful throws, lush pillows, and accessories, there’s something for everyone here.

Chicago Lost and Found also attended, displaying their affordable clutch bags (with interchangeable straps) and their famous tree skirts, made from men’s ties. Founder Mitch Pennell was in attendance. Their mission? To support the community through the visual arts.

So, whether you are looking for that perfect show piece or just want to do some browsing, contact Rita T for an appointment to shop directly in the warehouse. Don’t have time for an appointment? Simply pop online and fill your basket with her one of a kind pieces that will satisfy a broad range of design needs.
