Our vision / manifesto / what we do


Founded and Directed by designer-maker Elena Corchero, Lost Values holds the vision of innovating craft by melding it with technology and vice versa, to inspire a future where design is environmental and emotional yet smart and playful. Qualities that she believes are important aspects of life but are being forgotten in the quest for faster and more convenient products.


We are an ethical design group interested in near-forgotten things - in traditions and rich, cultural expressions. But we are also fascinated with technology, and strive to uncover new and sensitive ways to integrate it into everyday life: to allow such cultural expressions to remain relevant and contemporary, but still steeped in culture and tradition.


We hope to develop products which are meaningful, which will be treasured and cared for, and never discarded or simply consumed. We consider it to be as much a question of sustainability as it is of design.


We strive to be environmentally conscious in our work, but we also observe that many of the lost values which we hope to recapture, are best achieved by sustainable means - for example, we make all of our main pieces to order, so craft and personalization are made possible, but in doing so we can also cut down on waste and consumption.


As well as our core design team, we welcome guest designers and anyone who can help us to achieve our goals.


Lost Values is at home in the Scottish Highlands and is the first Spin off from Distance Lab.
