Ellison Studios Gives The Least Public Room In The House Its Best Furniture Yet.

The bedroom is usually the last room in the house to get the good furniture. It is also the least public, which is why it tends to absorb the hand-me-downs, the frame that came with the apartment, the bedside table bought in a hurry on a Sunday. Ellison Studios has built an entire collection on the opposite premise.

The New Bedroom brings together sculptural beds, bedside tables, storage, seating and occasional pieces under a single argument: that comfort is worth designing toward rather than something that turns up by accident once the proportions have been settled. Generous curves, tactile upholstery and low, grounded forms run through the whole range. Gathered fabric and warm tonal finishes carry the softness, while natural timber, high-gloss lacquer and more architectural forms supply the structure and the contrast.

Night Palm's Tiffany Howell and Ellison Studios Unveil Sofa Collab Blending 70s Sensuality with 80s Decadence.

This clever fusion of 80s decadence and 70s sensuality emerged from a creative friendship that's been brewing for years.

Two upholstered beds anchor it. Melt is the softer of the pair—inflated curves and hand-applied ruching in a warm butter fabrication, a bed that reads as one continuous gathered volume rather than a frame with padding attached. Rem is considerably louder about the whole business, pairing a curved, voluminous headboard with hand-finished pleats and minimal walnut supports. The studio describes a touch of ’80s glamour, which slightly undersells it.

What lifts this above a bed release is everything arranged around the beds. Edie, a new side table, sets high-gloss lacquer against open negative space. Notte, a storage design, wraps a shadow line detail front to back across rhythmic curves in a rich walnut stain. Neither piece is designed to reverse into a wall and disappear, which is a meaningful shift in how a bedroom gets furnished. The Nico occasional chair holds a plush upholstered seat inside a polished architectural frame. Plinto stacks softly rounded layers of oak into a low bench with no particular obligation to remain in the bedroom at all. Tondo, a screen of rotating circular forms in oak and walnut, is the most quietly ambitious thing in the collection—a piece that manipulates light, sightlines and division rather than simply occupying floor space.

New fabrications and colours in Salento Butter, Scala Chalk and Amalfi Tabacco sit alongside the timbers, shifting the range between warmth, gloss and texture. Ellison Studios describes a palette chosen for the hour between 4 pm and dusk, when a room shows what it actually is. Unusually specific, as colour stories go, and all the better for it.

The 1970s nostalgia running through the softened finishes is the obvious risk here, because volume and gloss tip into pastiche quickly. What holds the line is the timber: the walnut under Rem, the oak layers in Plinto, the frame around Nico. Structure keeping all that softness honest.

Ellison Studios has been designing bedroom pieces for years, but this time the difference is that the room has been treated as a whole rather than a bed with objects arranged around it.

We dig.
