For as long as she can remember, Los Angeles designer Carmen Ellis has been captivated by the bizarre and unique.
Her inspiration can be traced back to childhood fantasies. As a young escapist, she dreamt of living in more enchanted realms—places like Alice's peculiar Wonderland, a world with anthropomorphic flowers, talking caterpillars, and invisible cats; a land where reality is relative. This affinity for the surreal was the driving force behind her eponymous collection.
She currently creates objects inspired by the beauty of the bizarre. Hints of the human form spring out of what would be commonplace items, bringing life and whimsy to objects often otherwise overlooked. Her designs are meant to inspire change in how we see and interact with these works.
All items are handmade to order in Los Angeles.
