Austral Bricks Venetian Glass Brick in Polished Arctic Crystal

Part installation, part infrastructure. The luminous Austral Bricks Venetian Glass Brick staircase realised in collaboration with Ellison Studios. Welcome to the Ellison Studios Designer Suite - A dedicated showroom space for the trade community.

These Venetian glass bricks in Polished Arctic Crystal create the first impression of the space as you enter, setting the tone for the brand new creative space, launched exclusively for Ellison Studio's trade partners the 'By Appointment' Designer Suite offers a refined and pared-back environment to experience their collections up close. 

Conceived as both a creative studio and working showroom, their new headquarters is the central hub of Ellison Studios - and first major headquarters since founding the studio eight years ago. 

Ellison's collection lives alongside curated works from local and international makers: lighting by Volker Haug, a considered art collection and custom detailing by Studio Henry Wilson, along with the glowing Austral Bricks staircase, echoing an appreciation for design with soul. A considered space within the heart of Sydney's design district - where creativity and collaboration converge. 

"The challenge with running any creative business is finding the perfect balance of magic and logic. That was the guiding principle when we approached designing this HQ space. It needed to speak to who we are as a global design brand, be an inspiring place for our team to create, while still ensuring it functions for our clients and community."

Venice – a city built on water, bridges and light. For centuries, Venetian artisans have mastered glassmaking, shaping pieces that capture both beauty and function. The Austral Bricks Venetian Glass collection continues this legacy, bringing the qualities you’d expect from designer coloured glass – clarity, radiance and refinement – into an architectural form.

Glass bricks are more than decorative: they diffuse natural light, create privacy without heaviness, and add structural rhythm to walls and partitions. Their unique ability to play with light and shadow makes them a favourite in both modernist and contemporary design.
