Elina Ulvio
Elina Ulvio is an award-winning Finnish designer educated in architecture and furniture design at Aalto University in Helsinki. Working across product and collectible design, her practice sits at the intersection of functional design and artistic expression. 

Her work explores the dialogue between the present and historical cycles, drawing inspiration from the rich details, harmonious proportions and recurring aesthetics of the past. Through this perspective, Ulvio explores the repetition of trends as a way to extend the lifespan of interiors and encourage a more sustainable approach to design. 

Her work has been featured internationally in publications including AD, Wallpaper, Sight Unseen, Elle Decoration, Vogue Living, Rum and Dezeen. In 2026, her Puro Chair was featured on the cover of AD Italia. Her collectible designs have been represented by galleries including Oblist, Kolkhoze, Philia and Bukowskis. Her designs have been exhibited internationally at venues and events including Design Museum Helsinki, CID au Grand-Hornu, and the Design Weeks of Stockholm, Helsinki and Milan.

"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."
- Jury of Formex Nova / Nordic Designer of the Year 2018
