Zoom Webinar

Featuring Crystal Ellis, Egg Collective

About the speaker:

Crystal Ellis is a designer and co-founder of Egg Collective, a New York–based furniture design and manufacturing company she established in 2012 alongside Hillary Petrie and Stephanie Beamer. Born from a deep friendship and a shared vision, Egg Collective is rooted in the founders’ backgrounds in art, architecture, and woodworking. Their guiding ethos remains central to the company’s work: that materials are sacred, the act of creation carries responsibility, and beauty is grounded in thoughtful choices, skilled hands, and the layered histories that shape each object.

Egg Collective operates out of two locations—a gallery in Tribeca and a workshop in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard—and is committed to creating timeless, heirloom-quality pieces crafted by skilled artisans. In addition to its design practice, the company curates and hosts special exhibitions in its gallery, celebrating one-of-a-kind and limited-edition works by contemporary artists. Egg Collective is also the originator of the Designing Women exhibition series, which highlights the work of women in both design and art and has garnered widespread recognition within the field.

Crystal holds a BFA in Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis and an MFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). Her multidisciplinary background continues to inform her approach to materiality, form, and the enduring value of design.
