Ella Doran

Ella Doran is a designer, textile mark-maker and photographer, who has created a wide range of highly-acclaimed projects and objects throughout product and textile design, furniture and interiors. The award-winning design by Ella is a trailblazer in the use of photography-based pictures to produce cutting-edge patterns for the home.

Creative collaborations and partnerships led to the aesthetically stunning and award-winning designs of Ella Doran. Ella had her initial training in printed textiles from Middlesex University. She now works in a variety of media, including photography, textiles, and painting. She was one of the pioneers in the creative integration of digitally printed photographic designs onto commonplace objects in the late 1990s.

Colours of the Landscape Maple is a graphic burst of colour that draws influence from both nature and design. It was first hand-painted from the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) landscape and then transformed into a trompe l'oeil board of colour swatches. The piece is intriguingly three-dimensional and echoes other popular pieces from Ella's collection, like Peeling Paint.
