"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."
"Ellis Works finishes all their products at a Brooklyn studio, where a team of artisans works with materials like solid brass, marble, wood, and hand-blown glass, achieving a tactile, crafted quality central to the brand."
"Bellos emphasizes 'the hand,' as he calls it. Most items are hand-finished, hand-blown, or hand-folded, involving collaborations with a range of artisans, from glassblowers to jewelers."
