Earth Elements Design Center

What Earth Elements Design Center does

Earth Elements Design Center is a privately held, founder/management-owned specialty retailer of interior home finishes founded in 2013 in Gallatin Gateway, Montana. The company started as a custom cabinetry shop and expanded within its first year into a multi-division "one-stop-shop" sourcing globally, now operating across nine product divisions: Appliances, Cabinetry, Doors & Hardware, Lighting, Plumbing, Slab & Fabrication, Tile, Wall Coverings, and Wood Flooring. It serves homeowners, builders, contractors, architects, and interior designers, with a particular concentration in luxury residential construction across Western US resort markets.

The business operates through three physical Elements DRC (Design Resource Center) showrooms located in Gallatin Gateway MT, Jackson WY, and Park City UT, complemented by an integrated fabrication and distribution center at its Gallatin Gateway headquarters. Showrooms feature working displays, including full kitchens, a custom sauna, and a stone slab wing; an in-house CNC fabrication facility provides custom cuts, templating, and installation. The company sells premium third-party brands (Sub-Zero/Wolf/Cove, Caesarstone, Cambria, Walker Zanger, Sun Valley Bronze, Antolini Precioustone) and holds exclusive US distribution rights for Bark House bark wall coverings. A proprietary in-house fulfillment system and online platform/database coordinates ordering and project workflows for homeowners, builders, designers, and internal staff. Earth Elements also operates an East Coast warehouse function, indicating distribution reach beyond the Mountain West.

Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based, project-specific hardware sales of premium home finishes, supplemented by custom stone fabrication and installation services. The go-to-market is sales-led and appointment-based, combining direct consultations with product specialists at each showroom, enterprise field sales targeting builders, developers, architects, and designers, and referral-driven demand from approximately 60+ regional architecture and construction firms. The company is privately held with no external institutional investment, led by CEO Ben Jones, and operates across roughly 70 employees based on staff directory evidence.
