Ella was interviewed by Lara Chapman for Disegno Journal about new project 'Transitions', a collection of three sculptural chairs by Ella Bulley, a British-born Ghanaian designer and artist. 'Bulley’s pieces are subtle in the manner they explore the female form, gentle in their celebration and references in a way that their commercial counterparts are not. Bulley says that she focuses on “seeing beauty in the forms that may be overlooked, such as the curve of calf muscles, or a posture that indicates assertiveness and boldness.” It is these shapes and stances that influence the forms of her furniture and, in paying attention to the overlooked, there is an act of reshaping the story told about bodies.'
