About

Sarah Ellison is not just a designer; she’s a visionary curator of spaces and a storyteller of interiors.  Her journey is grounded in intuitive creativity that explores and redefines the way we live, through contemporary design.

From her early days as an interior and fashion stylist, Sarah immersed herself in the art of visual storytelling. With an innate ability to blend styles, genres, and disciplines, her work graced the covers of magazines around the world.

Sarah’s drive to explore her unique artistic expression and passion for contemporary design in a more meaningful medium led to the creation of Sarah Ellison Studio in 2017.  Under Sarah’s creative leadership, the eponymous venture quickly became a beacon of innovation in the global furniture and design landscape, with designs that balanced high- end aesthetics with everyday functionality.

In 2024, Sarah is embarking on her most ambitious project yet. A global creative studio based in Byron Bay that focuses on using her unique multi hyphenate talents to collaborate alongside some of the world’s biggest brands through interior, product design and creative direction.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Sarah’s intuitive approach to design is inspired by the intersection of where past and present come together to create beautiful and well considered design for the future.

She believes that beautiful design and great spaces should be experiential and sensory, showcased through materiality, form and the handmade. An emotionally resonant journey for the senses that is human centred and deeply personal, bringing joy into the everyday.

Her projects are characterised by a meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of how our senses influence our experience of a space.

Sarah aims to create unexpected, interesting design that is both functional and beautiful, with a relaxed and comfortable sensibility, synonymous to the Australian lifestyle. Sarah’s ability to cultivate versatility and impact through design means her pieces are as at home in a Manhattan apartment as they are in a Bondi bungalow.

“Sarah Ellison stands as a luminary in the Australian design scene. Her experience and vision has redefined the boundaries of furniture and design in Australia. Sarah’s exceptional talent for creating timeless pieces and spaces,seamlessly blending vintage charm, contemporary elegance and personal narratives, has shaped a signature aesthetic that resonates worldwide”.
