Materials: curly birch plywood, mirror, polished steel, crystal glass, painted birch. A play of basic shapes unites ‘80s postmodernism, art deco and ancient egyptian styles. Inspired by classic geometry and the silhouettes of legendary egyptian queens, nefertiti mirror forms a portal between now and then. Glass, wood and metal create together an expressive palette of structures where different materials represent contrasts and character. The collectible selection is a manifesto for cherishing the outdated. The objects are inspired by the rich details and harmonious proportions of recycled styles and beloved aesthetics from the past. The collection highlights the cyclicality of trends as a way to extend the lifespan of interiors and promote a more sustainable approach to design.

By combining quality materials with uncompromising design, elina ulvio creates collectible pieces intended to stand the test of time. The objects are made in finland, crafted by the designer and skilled fabricators. The collectible selection includes nefertiti mirror, kaija table, harlequin pendant light, puro chair, and plankton light sculpture. Elina ulvio is an award-winning designer based in helsinki.
