ELVN studio is committed to safeguarding knowledge passed down from matriarchs while embracing a regenerative practice. Textiles are a tangible medium through which history and compassion move from one generation to the next, from maker to holder. These are everyday objects meant to be lived with — bringing texture, care, and story into the spaces we inhabit.

Many ELVN pieces are contemporary expressions of bojagi — created to hold light, memory, and presence. Composed from repurposed cloth and stitched in-studio, these works draw on Korean patchwork traditions to create objects that are both functional and reflective. Placed in front of a window, they filter light like softened stained glass.

The ELVN x Old Stone Trade capsule collection of cushions evolves a quilt pattern taught to me by my grandmother — Lightning in the Rainforest — reimagined in a David Hockney–inspired color palette.
