In 1987 he met Andrée Putman who offered him a position in her Parisian studio. Working initially as a project designer before becoming a partner, Elliott was eventually made director of the firm in 1997. He contributed to the development and expansion of the office and its projects until 2003.

In 2004, elliott barnes interiors, ebi, was founded as a means of expressing a vision of design that was uniquely his own. Since then, the services of ebi have been called upon to execute a wide range of high-end architectural and interior design projects including private residences, boutiques, hotels, spas, and institutional spaces. Working for an international clientele, the ebi portfolio stretches from France, to Germany, Austria, Russia and Japan.

For Designer’s Days 2014, Elliott Barnes was invited to present his latest collection of furniture produced by ECART International and Philippe HUREL at the Musée Carnavalet in Paris. The exhibition, entitled “Transpositions”, juxtaposed contemporary furniture alongside historical pieces from the museum’s permanent collection.

It goes without saying that Elliott Barnes‘s work is defined by a pursuit of excellence, using exquisite materials and a commitment to achieve projects of the absolute highest quality. He also brings to each project a certain measure of emotion, ensuring each space has a palpable personality and soul that brings it to life. His formidable collection of skills and professional rigor, coupled with an obsessive eye for detail, results in the realization of unique and inspiring creations.
