Collection N°2 explores the delicate process of blending in from a social view point. It observes the anxiety of not belonging, the attempt to fit in, the disappearing when finally blended into a pattern, and then leaving this pattern to form an own shape.

These observations are reflected into textiles pieces that don’t fit to each other, refuse to follow traditional patterns, distort commonality, and explore new paths to develop into a unique form.

The graphic development is a nod to traditional carpet and embroidery patterns, whose repetitiveness, basic geometric shapes and symmetry are distorted into abstract patterns.

Sustainability is in focus throughout the whole development and production process. All products are knitted directly into shape with less than 1% material waste. This waste is afterwards used as a filling material for seat cushions.

The materials include: GOTS certified organic cotton, RWS certified wool, recycled viscose, hemp and silk. All products are knitted locally in Berlin and selected products feature hand stitching that is done as part of a social project with The NGO HOPS in North Macedonia that works with people who use drugs and sex workers.

The palette features different shades of off-white and beige, whose tonality is disrupted with details in accent colors.
