Azu in Bend, Deschutes County, United States | Shop

Hello and Welcome to Azu, Bend, United States. Azu was born in 1986 in the resort town of Sunriver, Oregon. Known at that time as Soleil Riviere, life started out as a gift Shop and quickly morphed into a florist and home accessory store. In 1993 the decision was made to open a second store in the growing city of Bend - just 15 miles to the North. As Bend began to grow (and grow and grow) - so did the Bend Shop. In 2000 the Sunriver Shop was closed and the Bend store changed its name to Azu and moved into its current location in Historic Downtown Bend. Often asked by customers what the name Azu means or stands for - we can only say 'absolutely nothing'. We simply like how the three letters look together - plus it is short and sweet, easy to spell and say!

Azu,has now become a full-service home accessory store; living up to its motto - 'A Plethora of Neat Stuff'. Always changing, customers can visit often and still find something new and different. Located in a building that was built in the early 1900's with its original brick walls, 15 foot ceilings and hardwood floors - Azu is in the heart of Historic Downtown Bend. Situated on busy Wall Street, we are just across from the magnificently renovated Tower Theater. Bend, Oregon is located on the Eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains on the edge of the High Desert. Bend is an outdoorsman's paradise. Snow sports in the Winter - hiking and mountain biking in Summer as well as rock-climbing and fly-fishing. There is also the bonus of having 300 days of sunshine every year.

As a “bricks and mortar” store, Azu carries a wide range of home accessories… accent furniture, artwork and several gift items. The inventory is constantly changing – the products you see this month will more-than-likely be gone the next month. We try to seek-out local and regional craftsmen to round out our mix of merchandise in the store. Beautiful Raku pottery, furniture, artwork and photography - all done by local artists.
