The Elysian Collective Story
Elysian Collective is a contemporary design studio and gallery devoted to extraordinary objects and the environments they inhabit.
Founded by designers Jamie Williams and Michael Brown, Elysian Collective began as a curated gallery distinguished by its intuitive approach — guided by a reverence for original design, one-of-a-kind pieces, and the stories they carry.
FROM CURATION TO ENVIRONMENT
Launched in the spring of 2022, Elysian Collective introduced an ever-evolving collection of elegant textiles, rugs, art, and objects defined by material integrity and provenance. Featuring collectible works and exclusive designs by exceptional makers and emerging artists, the gallery quickly became known for its refined and global point of view.
Yet the practice extended beyond acquisition.
With decades of combined experience in luxury hospitality interiors, Williams and Brown have long understood that objects alone do not define a space — it is their placement, restraint, and relationship to architecture that create atmosphere.
From that understanding, Elysian Collective Studio emerged.
What began with objects has grown into composition.
A STUDIO INFORMED BY TRAVEL & HOSPITALITY
As passionate travelers who have explored Europe, South America, and Asia in pursuit of craftsmanship and culture, Williams and Brown envisioned not only connecting artists across continents — but shaping the spaces in which their work lives.
Today, Elysian Collective operates as both:
• A curated gallery and showroom in East Austin
• A hospitality-focused design studio specializing in styling and soft renovation
The gallery refines the eye.
The studio expands the scale.
Together, they form a practice rooted in texture, restraint, and material depth. Whether sourcing a singular object or refining a boutique hospitality property, our work is guided by a quiet confidence and long-term perspective.
We are drawn to original design.
To craftsmanship with integrity.
To environments that invite pause.
