"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 Ornamo 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."
