ADAM ELLIS LTD

What ADAM ELLIS LTD does

ADAM ELLIS LTD, trading as Adam Ellis Studio, is a London-based fine art and design studio founded in 2009 by Adam Ellis, a graduate of The Slade. The company designs and supplies bespoke wallpapers, limited edition prints, custom fabrics, and site-specific art installations for luxury hospitality and high-end residential interiors. Its core product set comprises the Ellis Editions archival print collection (442+ editions), 85+ wallpaper designs across Aquatic, Asia, Botanical, Scenic, Specialist, and Zoological categories, an exclusive fabric line printed on faux velvet, silk, or linen, and signature custom-milled oak tramline frames. Proprietary production capabilities include UV-safe colourfast ink printing on archival matte paper (280 gsm for editions, 190/230 gsm for the Gilded Series), signature metallic wallpaper bases in silver and gold, and bespoke colourway services.

The studio operates a project-based, quote-driven revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue streams include bespoke wallpaper commissions (often large-scale hotel and restaurant projects), limited edition print sales (framed or print-only), custom fabric orders for upholstery/curtains/wall panels, and framing services. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for hotel/restaurant commissions, direct-to-consumer limited edition sales via by-appointment gallery viewings and website enquiries, and a self-serve website "pin board" curation tool. Distribution is supported through the West London Sun Studios gallery, a featured-designer presence at Chelsea Harbour Design Emporium, and LAPADA fair participation.

The customer base is concentrated in luxury hospitality, with flagship relationships including The Ivy Collection (multiple UK and international sites), Brown's Hotel London, W Budapest, Prince de Galles Paris, Hotel Amigo Brussels, Annabel's, and Scott's. Other named clients span upscale residential projects in the UK and US (e.g., Irving Blvd, LA) and residential real estate (Moda Living, UK). The firm is privately held, founder-operated, with no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity. Active hiring for a Studio & Production Manager signals current scaling of operational capacity.
