Some things get better the longer they exist. A mirror that has shown a hundred different faces. A lamp whose light still wraps a room in the same warmth it did when someone first switched it on, decades ago. A wall clock that has been keeping time in someone's kitchen for forty years, and still works.

ULLI is a collection of vintage objects and everyday design, mostly European, mostly twentieth century. Gathered over decades by someone with a particular eye for the pieces that have something about them, even when it's hard to say exactly what. Someone picked each one up, at different times, in different places, and decided it deserved to stay.

The things in this collection have travelled a long way to be here, from across Europe. Some you'll recognise from another era of your life. Others will feel familiar anyway. Objects that have been somewhere carry it with them. They have their own memories. What will you add to them?
