Inside Designer’s Mind
Discover a land of boundless creativity for colour play, Elwood crafts an eloquent dialogue between you and your creation.

Inspired by textures in the woods, I wanted to use nature as a canvas, painting modern geometric lines to form an image that can evoke your emotion. It’s a colour work, it’s a cable knitting, it’s an enticing accessory project that serves as a playground for your artistic reflection.
