A Poignant Nostalgia Meets Coastal Contemporary Elegance - The New Wave and Golden by Sarah Ellison

Since then, her experience across all aspects of the styling world proved invaluable, as she was able to draw on her many contacts in furniture, production, homewares, photography, art direction, marketing and PR. Sarah swiftly began to make a name for herself as a designer around her signature relaxed yet elegant coastal aesthetic.

“I really yearned for a sense of permanence in my work and after 10 years I was asking myself the question ‘what’s next?”

Her latest collection, Golden, is inspired by lazy summer days on the Australian coast, the tactility of natural materials and the ‘golden’ era of post-midcentury furniture design in the 1960s and 70s. The handcrafted rattan pieces subtly weave contemporary silhouettes with a poignant nostalgia that is informed by Sarah’s appreciation of renowned female designers who worked in the 60s and 70s.

Golden is inspired by lazy summer days on the Australian coast.

“For Golden, I took inspiration from Gabriella Crespi. I love Kelly Wearstler for her fearless sense of design, India Mahdavi for her use of colour and playfulness, and Faye Toogood for her effortless cool.”
