Experimental

STRIKKS is a research lab for all possibilities in knitting. On show are 5 experimental textile constructions in black and white. Our research is based on the theme of hygiene, which lead to a deeper insight in the structures of water, soap and textile products. Through the lens of a microscope we discoverd constructions of spheres, bubbles and loops. These became the main inspiration for the shapes of the textile structures.

3-dimensional

To acquire these shapes, we developed unconventional knitting techniques. With the use of technical and specialty yarns, textile contructions were composed with 3-dimensional effects. These designs can now be applied to new or existing products.

3D-Knitwear was exhibited at Salone del Mobile 2013.
