ELVO was founded in 1923 by Valdemar Martin Ørstrup, who named the company after four of his children: Ellen, Leo, Villy, and Orla. The company remained family-owned until 2019 and has, throughout the years, supplied boxes to many historic and creative workplaces across Denmark. With a new group of owners, ELVO has moved after 70 years on Uplandsgade to an industrial courtyard on Islands Brygge in Copenhagen, where all of our products are handmade. At the factory, Elvo welcomes visitors into a space that radiates history and a passion for the traditional craft of box-making. Elvo aims to challenge the throwaway culture and create classic products that age gracefully.

Lasting change begins at the smallest scale. No detail is too little, no problem too small, no emotion trivial and no person irrelevant. In a time defined by environmental and social challenges, design becomes a tool for care, attention, and responsibility, where every step matters and every effort counts. At Lund University School of Industrial Design, education is grounded in curiosity, critical thinking, and real-world engagement. Students question, test, and refine, engaging with people and contexts, bringing together diverse perspectives. The school fosters a new generation of designers who create with intent and awareness. Their work reflects a shift from producing more to creating meaningful impact. Because Every Thing Matters.
