INSIDE OUR NEW CREATIVE HQ & DESIGNER SUITE.
EDITION 49. ELLISON STUDIOS. NEW CREATIVE HQ & DESIGNER SUITE
Step inside our new creative headquarters and 'By Appointment' Designer Suite created exclusively for our trade partners in the heart of Sydney’s design district. A space where creativity and collaboration converge. The new headquarters is the heartbeat of Ellison Studios. - and our first major HQ since founding the studio eight years ago.
It’s a space that captures our evolving design language: nostalgic, playful, and full of personality, while remaining true to the DNA that has always defined us. The journey begins in our reception, where a palm tree greets you like an old friend. It’s wrapped by a custom leather and steel seating installation we designed in-house, a place to pause before exploring the rest of the studio. Just beyond sits a travertine ping pong table - a reimagining of our “Earth” collection - reminding us (and our guests) that while we take our work seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

On the upper level, we’ve created our Designer Suite; an intentionally pared-back environment for our trade partners. It’s a space designed to let form, proportion, and material speak for themselves, free from distraction. Here, we invite designers and their clients to connect, visualise, and create.
Throughout the 680sqm studio, our own collections sit alongside works from local and international makers - from the luminous glass-brick staircase realised with Brickworks, to lighting and detailing by Studio Henry Wilson, Volker Haug and David Flack, which further echo our appreciation for local design with soul.

“The challenge with running any creative business is finding the perfect balance of magic and logic. That was the guiding principle when we approached designing this HQ space. It needed to speak to who we are as a global design brand, be an inspiring place for our team to create while still ensuring it functions for our clients and community.” - Leigh McKeown, Founder & CEO, Ellison Studios.

For us, this headquarters is more than just a workplace. It’s a foundation for what comes next - a place where ideas are nurtured, partnerships are formed, and design is experienced in its most human form.
