The Collectible Selection by Elina Ulvio challenges our constant need of renewal. It explores the impact our relation to trends has on the lifespan of interiors. A deeper knowledge of styles reveals the regularity of trends. Embracing the cyclical nature of trends enables a more sustainable take on design, as treasuring the outdated decreases the consumptive need for updating interiors. Due to the ever accelerating trend cycles design may be seen as timeless, where styles are outdated and current at the same time.
By combining sensible materials with uncompromising design Elina Ulvio aims to produce collectible objects that stand the test of time. The Collectible Selection is a manifesto for cherishing the outdated. The objects are inspired by the rich details and harmonic proportions of recycled styles and favourite aesthetics from the past. The collection is a medium to highlight the cyclicality of trends as a means to extend the lifespan of interiors and enable a more sustainable approach to design. The designs are made in Finland utilising local materials, handcrafted by the designer and trusted fabricators.
