"As the Homewares Buyer for Coco Republic, I have had the pleasure of working with Karie Soehardi the Director of Ella and Sofia. I have purchased Ella and Sofia products and have enlisted their design services for Coco Republic branded product development. It’s always a pleasure working with Ella and Sofia it is not only creative and energetic but professional and assiduous".

Erin Chalmers - National Homewares Buyer COCO REPUBLIC

"Since moving back to Sydney from New York a few years ago, I've struggled to come up with a design solution for my own (very bright) south east facing bedroom. Ella and Sofia's Floss Delight wallpaper and fabric in a custom green was the inspiration for an amazing transformation. Enveloping the space on two sides, the print has given the room that magical combination of restfulness and reinvigoration. It's a beautiful space to end the day and a truly inspiring one to wake up in. Thanks so much Ella and Sofia for your insight and your gorgeous designs!"

"I first met with the studio after contacting them to discuss incorporating Ella and Sofia fabric and wallpaper within an exhibition room I had been asked to design and style. The success of my room design was primarily due to the Ella and Sofia 'Narnie' woven fabric and coordinating wallpaper, being the focal points of the room. From my initial contact with Ella and Sofia, I am continued to be impressed with their design work and ability to customise colourways, prints and fabrics to suit any purpose, all with an ecological focus. The range of Ella and Sofia designs are enduring aesthetically and environmentally and I know will make their mark for many years to come, which I refer to as classics of the future".

"I have worked with Ella and Sofia for several years now, purchasing exclusive textiles for my studio. I continue to be delighted with the quality of artwork and service. The time that is taken to understand my projects needs is refreshing. The delivery is also made in a timely manner, which helps with my tight deadlines. I am looking forward to collaborating with Ella and Sofia on other projects throughout the coming year."
