Originally from the West Coast, growing up in a suburb outside of Seattle, Ellen Pong now lives and works in Queens, New York. The designer graduated with a degree in Art History from the University of California, Berkeley. Pong’s self-taught practice blends sensorial observations from both the Pacific Northwest and the chaotic streets of New York City to create furniture, lighting, and objects with a studied playfulness. She has held a solo exhibition at Superhouse (New York, USA) and participated in group exhibitions at Downtown+ (Paris, France), Emma Scully Gallery (New York, USA), Marta (Los Angeles, USA), and Objective Gallery (New York, USA). Her work is held in a number of important private collections. Selected publications include Artnet, Curbed, Elle Decor, Metropolis, PIN-UP, Sight Unseen, Surface, and The World of Interiors.
