How we approach sustainability
Sustainable by design, not as an add-on.
Sustainability starts at the brief, not the finish schedule. We plan spaces that adapt as you grow, keep good furniture in use, and using a local supply chain where possible.
- Led by a WELL Accredited ProfessionalDesigning for the wellbeing of the people in the space, not just the space itself.
- Experienced on certified projectsWe work alongside auditors and assessors to help projects achieve certifications such as BREEAM.
- 01
Strategise early
We set sustainability goals at the brief, so they shape the layout, budget and spec from day one — not bolted on at the end.
- 02
Flexible, future-proofed design
Adaptable layouts and modular furniture that flex as teams and operations change, so the next change doesn’t mean a strip-out.
- 03
Our reuse network
We keep and refurbish wherever we can. Anything you no longer need is donated, sold second-hand or rehomed.
- 04
Local supply chains
We use local makers, manufacturers and suppliers wherever we can, cutting delivery miles and supporting local trades.
Testimonials
Ellipse is our trusted design partner for all of our European boat show exhibition stands, delivering a truly end-to-end service. From initial concept development through to technical drawings, space planning, interior design, graphic schedules, FF&E sourcing, and high-quality visual renders, every stage is handled with exceptional expertise and attention to detail.
Their creativity is outstanding, but what truly sets Monica and Luke apart is how effortless they make the entire process. They are a pleasure to work with, consistently communicating clearly, meeting every deadline, and delivering work that not only meets but exceeds our own high standards.
Ellipse Design Studio beautifully transformed our neo-Gothic church into the ‘House of Wonder’ — a truly distinctive, character-filled home for our team and visitors alike.
Monica and Luke were exceptionally collaborative and responsive from start to finish. They masterfully balanced the building’s rich heritage with a bold, creative vision, delivering a space that feels entirely our own. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Working with Ellipse was a genuinely collaborative experience. We came to them with the foundations of a brand, and their design expertise helped shape it into a cohesive identity, bringing it to life through a website that exceeded our expectations. They were open, honest, and refreshingly direct throughout the process. They welcomed feedback, weren’t afraid to tell us when something wouldn’t work (and why), and always came back with practical, solutions-focused ideas we’d never considered ourselves.
I’d happily recommend Ellipse to anyone looking for a creative, collaborative team that genuinely cares about delivering the right solution.

The studio
A small senior team, hands-on from brief to handover.
Before founding Ellipse, we worked at managed office start-up Knotel, where Monica was Head of Design for Europe and Luke a Senior Interior Designer. Following the company’s acquisition in 2021, we established Ellipse to build a more considered, design-led practice.
Monica brings extensive expertise in workspace and high-end residential design, whilst Luke brings experience in F&B fit-outs and workspace design. As a result, our work spans multiple sectors, including workplace, hospitality and retail, with a cross-disciplinary approach that brings ideas and experience from one sector into another.
Collectively, we have worked across architecture, product design, interior design, workplace strategy and branding, delivering projects for over 90 clients globally — from boutique restaurants and start-ups to FTSE 100 companies, high street restaurants, and major London landlords.
We partner with clients who value sustainability and beauty in equal measure, and who are committed to continually improving how we design and build.
We look forward to working with you.
