Designer Focus ELLIE MOSER Creator of the Paradiso Collection

Honestly, my favorite color changes every few weeks! Currently I’m obsessed with dark slate greens, but last week it was pale peach. My brain gets energized by contemporary art. My vacations are usually centered around museums or galleries, and I always come back to my desk afterward buzzing with new ideas. Right now, I’m excited about my new pattern Parachute. It was a challenge to create a linear design without repeating old territory, and I remember trying at least a dozen concepts before sketching this droplet motif. The contrast of round and pointy spaces had a nice flow, but I kept tinkering with it because it still felt a bit boring. It became true love when I erased a few lines randomly and let it breathe. I also love the colorline! Note: I have older favorites including Pod, Colorwheel, Guideline, Roster or Trivia My number one muse is an artist named Tauba Auerbach. Prolific is an understatement. Most of the museum pieces are paintings or sculptures, but Tauba also explores new processes constantly. Ongoing projects include typeface design, glass extrusion, woven canvases, origami, and much more. Every time I see a new series of work I’m blown away by their beauty and creativity.
