"Ellis Works focuses on parts of the home that are easy to overlook: door handles, pulls, and other hardware that's constantly used, but rarely noticed. Founder Alex Bellos emphasizes how each item is made and how it functions over time."
"Bellos named Ellis Works after Ellis Island, taking inspiration from the notion that craft travels across nations and generations. Many immigrants brought trades with them and adapted those skills to suit their new home."
"Throughout Ellis Works' offerings, Bellos emphasizes 'the hand.' Most items are hand-finished, hand-blown, or hand-folded, involving collaborations with a range of artisans, from glassblowers to jewelers."
Ellis Works specializes in enhancing overlooked home hardware like door handles and pulls, turning them into statement pieces. Founder Alex Bellos, inspired by immigrant craftsmanship, emphasizes the importance of how items are made and their functionality over time. Named after Ellis Island, the brand reflects a blend of tradition and modernity. Products are crafted in a Brooklyn studio using materials such as brass and glass, with a focus on hand-finished quality. Collaborations with various artisans, including designer Heath Wagoner, further enrich the collections.
