Welcome to Ariel

 Founded in 1985 by Jane Blanks Ariel started as an expansive bookshop in Paddington. Following a location in the rocks, Ariel is now located in Darlinghurst. The shop remains an institution in Sydney for all things print & literature..

We love Art & Design, Architecture, Interiors and everything in between. We're not all about the coffee-table times, though. There's a wealth of fiction, non-fiction, film, theatre, poetry and children's books as well as plenty of eclectic hard to find stuff and miscellaneous quirky gift brilliance too.

Brutalism is known as one of the most polarising Architecture movements. Love it or hate it, it’s shaped design beyond the buildings it originated from. Go back to the roots (and rubble) of this bleak & brooding style with a beautifully bound copy of ‘Brutalism, Now & Then’ by Chris van Uffelen — Located on our architecture shelf #brutalism #brutalistarchitecture #chrisvanuffelen #architecture
EVENT - Barry Du Bois in Conversation Barry Du Bois (@baz_dubois) is facing his greatest challenge. It's a fight against cancer. After winning the first round and years in remission, Barry now faces round two. Barry is a presenter on Channel TEN's The Living Room, but he is also an author. His book, Life Force details his story from a working class childhood to a highly successful builder and developer. Du Bois wants everyone to know he feels like “the luckiest bloke alive” with an “angel” wife and two beautiful children. Du Bois and chef, Miguel Maestre, have created a practical handbook for anyone affected by cancer. As Amanda Keller said, “If anyone can help us laugh through tough times and accept change and new challenges by focusing on what matters most, it’s these inspiring guys.” Barry is a brilliant raconteur. Join him in conversation with journalist Peter Ryan, at Ariel Bookshop, on Tuesday 18th September 6.00pm for a 6.30pm start. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased in-store or via eventbrite using the link in our bio. #eventsatariel #barryduboisbooklaunch
