Peder Karlsson och Yesol Kim.

Winner 2023

Lilla Elefant

Yesol Kim uses design to change the view of disability and, together with Peder Karlsson, designs furniture that offers a greater measure of freedom for wheelchair users in the home environment.

Under the Lilla Elefant brand, Yesol Kim and Peder Karlsson design furniture based on the needs of disabled people with high craftsmanship and well-thought-out, well-balanced design.

Based on her own experiences as a wheelchair user, Yesol Kim strives to change the view of disabilities and how we relate to them. By participating in several exhibitions, Yesol Kim has shown how design can be used to improve spatial qualities through design for the disabled.
