Our STORY
A Journey Through Craft & Culture
Our Story
Founded in 2014 by Alison Legge and Christopher Noto,
Elan Atelier was created to connect the artistry of handcrafted materials, furniture, lighting, and objets d’art with spirited innovation and modern design.
We believe in a slower form of luxury — one rooted in inspired originality and the integrity of time-honored techniques.
Drawing on the synergy between East and West, Elan Atelier has become synonymous with aesthetic purity, meticulous craftsmanship, and enduring style.
Approaching every project with the energy, passion, and flair from which the atelier derives its name, Alison and Christopher bring a unique perspective and joyful celebration of global design to the collections and interiors they create.
Their work draws from time spent in Southeast Asia, Europe, and the US, as well as their deep experience in production and collaborations with some of the world’s most esteemed brands, designers, and architects — including Jaya Ibrahim, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Roche Bobois, Four Seasons, and Aman.
Our Vision
We believe true luxury is not just about beauty—it’s about intention, authenticity, and longevity. Our vision is to create heirloom-quality pieces that transcend fleeting trends, inviting a deeper connection between object and owner.
With a focus on responsibly sourced materials and ethical production, we are dedicated to preserving artisanal traditions while innovating for a more sustainable future. Whether through custom collaborations or our signature collections, Elan Atelier remains a platform for creativity, craftsmanship, and enduring design.
