Danish Furniture Designer
based in Copenhagen, DK

Elly Feldstein (1997), MAA, likes to challenge conventional furniture pieces and explore new aesthetics and functions. It is interesting for her to draw inspiration from traditional crafts and objects that embody past values and combine them with contemporary needs to create a new perspective.

She is motivated to create longlasting objects, and therefore considers the user experience and how an object connects to its surroundings. She believes functionality, aesthetics and curiosity are essential to expand the life of an object. Which is a thought of sustainability as a natural starting point when designing.

Through work and studies she has gained experience working in both the commercial and collective design fields, which has equipped her with a diverse skill set. Personally, she enjoys working in a crossfield, designing objects that both serve their purpose and evoke emotion.
