About Ellipse Design Studio
Ellipse Design Studio is a London-based commercial interior design and workplace strategy practice established in 2021. It combines interior architecture, technical coordination and turnkey project delivery for commercial occupiers, hospitality businesses and landlords. Architectural rendering and spatial modelling support its design and presentation work within a broader interiors practice.
The studio’s workspace services cover Cat B fit-outs, space planning, concept development, mechanical and electrical coordination, and project handover. Its work addresses how organisations use their premises, bringing together flexible layouts, furniture strategy and the practical requirements of commercial environments. For restaurants, cafés and bars, the practice develops operational layouts, guest experiences and durable material palettes, with delivery extending through to completed interiors.
Design and delivery
Landlord consultancy includes reception areas, shared amenities, wayfinding, art curation and flexible office concepts. These commissions connect individual spaces with the wider experience of a building, including meeting facilities, wellness areas and communal environments. The studio also integrates furniture, fixtures and equipment procurement, styling and final staging into its design-and-build offer, providing a single point of contact across these stages.
Environmental considerations inform the practice’s approach from the initial brief through handover. Its research-supported priorities include circular reuse, material health and interiors aligned with WELL and BREEAM requirements. Furniture procurement and rehoming sit alongside spatial design, linking decisions about new interiors with the continued use of existing resources.
Beyond offices and hospitality, Ellipse undertakes exhibition and event design, including bespoke yacht-show environments, technical drawings and graphic schedules. Its wider portfolio extends to high-end residential interiors and modular off-grid accommodation. The practice has delivered projects across the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Monaco and the United States.
Founded by designers with experience at flexible workspace company Knotel, Ellipse brings that workplace background to a practice spanning commercial interiors, building amenities and specialist environments. Its services connect strategic planning with detailed design, procurement and implementation.
