LOVR Icons: ELLISON STUDIOS
In the Icons Series, we take a closer look at some of the brands and founders we love here at LOVR. This week, we explore ELLISON STUDIOS.
Founded in Sydney in 2017 by CEO Leigh McKeown and designer Sarah Ellison, ELLISON STUDIOS has rapidly gained international acclaim for its distinctive approach to furniture and homewares. The brand's creations, such as the Float sofa and Huggy armchair, have become emblematic of its commitment to reimagining '70s-inspired designs for contemporary living spaces. With a presence in seven countries and a dedicated following, ELLISON STUDIOS continues to redefine Australian design on the global stage.
MODERN NOSTALGIA
At the heart of ELLISON STUDIOS lies a design philosophy that marries modernity with a playful sense of nostalgia. Each piece reflects a grounded simplicity that epitomises the relaxed Australian lifestyle. The brand's ability to infuse contemporary designs with elements reminiscent of the past creates a unique and elevated aesthetic
In a market saturated with transient trends, ELLISON STUDIOS distinguishes itself with timeless designs that simultaneously honour the past and embrace the present. The brand's commitment to premium craftsmanship produces pieces that are at the height of both form and function. The unique juxtaposition of old and new, coupled with a deep understanding of the Australian way of life, ensures that ELLISON STUDIOS remains at the forefront of contemporary design.
THE VISIONARIES
Sarah Ellison and Leigh McKeown are a dynamic force to be reckoned with. Ellison’s background in fashion design, coupled with her experience as a style editor for a leading Australian interior design magazine, has equipped her with a keen eye for detail and trend forecasting. McKeown’s expertise in fashion public relations complements Ellison’s abilities, ensuring that ELLISON STUDIOS designs exceptional products while also conveying its vision to an international audience, rendering them a cult favourite in the design sector.
