Elina Ulvio is an award-winning designer based in Helsinki, Finland. A background in architecture is inherent in her work, where space and form meet bringing a supplemental dimension to furniture. Her design is described as functional art, adding a unique edge to furniture while providing it with useful features.
"Elina delicately combines the basic concepts of architecture: light, space and shape, into simple and insightful designs. Her work can be applied into many different scales as it can be seen as light shifting jewellery as well as furniture or space."
- Esa Vesmanen, curator of Enter and Encounter exhibition / Design Museum Helsinki
"Elina Ulvio’s idiom is subtle, functional and exudes an absolute elegance. Simultaneously, Ulvio’s design demonstrates an unambiguous affinity with the Finnish modernist architecture and design."
- Jury of Formex Nova / Nordic Designer of the Year 2018
