Sarah Ellison’s most recent development is the type of sofa destined to stop up on the covers of journals. The glamorous FLOAT sofa, with its modular layout, is an extension of Sarah’s vintage-influenced aesthetic, where retro silhouettes are re-imagined for modern houses.
It’s what we have appear to know and really like from the Byron Bay stylist turned products designer, with a landmark twist.
Sarah has collaborated with the Pantone Shade Institute to build a customized model color for the new structure – getting the very first designer inside the home category to partner with the world color authority.
‘Pantone had always been a staple within just my profession and all as a result of my layout get the job done,’ she points out. ‘After noticing their latest collaborations in the vogue space with brand names like Valentino, we felt it was an interesting prospect to get the job done on a signature colour and approached the Pantone Colour Institute to establish what that could seem like.’
In line with Sarah’s signature minimalism and everlasting enjoy of neutrals, her eyesight was to bring a color from the outdoors into the home ‘in a playful way’. From a record of about 50 various shades of brown at the start out of the job, the groups landed on a rich, deluxe brown hue with the excellent blend of warm and cool tones, appropriately dubbed Piccolo!
‘The FLOAT design and style is also reminiscent of the 1970’s discussion pits common in that time, and brown was such a power within interiors through that era, so both equally these aspects played a part,’ she adds.
