We have an extensive know-how in knitting technology & product development. Our background is in design, so our approach to your project is to follow your idea and make the technology work to support your vision. We offer the following services:
DESIGN
We design your swatch library or knitwear collection according to your brand identity and support you with trend-related art direction, design development, prototype fitting and preparation of worksheets for your manufacturer.
* Virtual product development and rendering can be added optionally to the package
DEVELOPMENT
Prototype development without the commitment for production. We will do a design and technical research for you, consult you on the choice of yarn, knitting technique and finishing, and provide you with a knitting program and a sample for your presentation or catwalk.
PRODUCTION
Since we are a small studio we can offer only small-scale productions. For bigger series we will connect you with a potential manufacturer from our network.

We are a proud official trade partner of the International Woolmark Prize.

Collaboration with Daniel Nikolovski
For Salone 23 we reimagined the modular sofa by interior designer Daniel Nikolovski with an exclusive knitted upholstery.
-
Daniel Nikolovski is a Macedonian-born interior and furniture designer, currently living and working in Milan, Italy.
His work is narrative-driven and is characterised by the use of sculptural geometries, altering proportions, and through rich range of materials.
The modular sofa expands into infinity. Two modules make an armchair, four modules make a two-seater sofa and so on. This piece pays homage to the modular sofas from the 70s and is upholstered with a bold sustainable wool fabric.By adding a mechanism that can attach and detach each module easily, this product is easy for transportation and can be easily lifted and passed through doorways.

For Salone 23 we created a custom-made fabric for the modular chair made by furniture designer Robin Norris.
Collaboration with Robin Norris
-
Robin Norris makes bespoke furniture using a mixture of traditional and modern techniques, using high quality wood, metals and materials to achieve simple and clean design with an intention in reclaiming and recycling materials where this is possible.
The modular chair is crafted traditional joinery cut by hand. It is built in a way that can be easily assembled/dissembled if needed, therefore it can be packaged and posted easily. The fabric can be removed, washed or replaced with the intention to give the chair a longer lifespan and create a more sustainable product. This allows the style of the the chair to keep up with the ever changing style of the owner as well.
The legs can also be purchased in different height allowing this chair to be used at a kitchen island/bar, dining table, living room or balcony.

Collaboration with STUDIO HILO
For EDIT Napoli 23 we developed a tapestry from our yarn waste together with Berlin-based Studio HILO.
-
By using Studio HILO’s open source textile manufacturing systems, the production waste of BOI was turned into new raw material. After sorting the waste according to colour and manually carding to break down the yarns to a fibre level, new yarn was spun with the HILO spinning machine.
Studio HILO is a Berlin-based studio for textile innovation. The studio re-thinks textile production by offering open tools for more sustainable, demand-driven and personalised manufacturing processes.

The collaboration features a knitted table mat made with the T-Yarn by Urban Fibers. The material originates from discarded t-shirts found in the local textile waste which are turned into yarn by using digital technologies. The application in homeware products is ideal due to the natural form stability of the yarn.
Urban Fibers is a Berlin-based Textile Design Studio founded by Tau Pibernat and Vera Castelijns that collaborates with a community of designers and change-makers to develop circular societies. They propose solutions for a regenerative textile industry by activating garment waste as a raw material. By transforming discarded garments into recycled yarns and optimising them for digital manufacturing techniques such as knitting, weaving, and rope making.
