COLLECTION N°1

Collection N°1 is a capsule collection for home textiles and features eight products across three categories of dining, living and textile art. Knits take the form of framed textiles, tapestry, table mat, table cloth, table runner, cushion cover, seat cushion and a blanket.

By experimenting directly on the machine with the wide array of knitting techniques and yarns, different textile surfaces and samples come to life. The visual and tactile guide the product concept. The form and graphic as the last step in the process, are usually a reflection of the current mood of the designer. Collection N°1 is all about the organic, fluid and non-linear.

Knit as upholstery is showcased through two furniture collaborations: a modular sofa by Milan-based interior designer Daniel Nikolovski, and a modular chair by Berlin-based furniture designer Robin Norris.

Sustainability plays a key role and is reflected throughout the design and production process. The collection materials are dead stock yarns, organic cotton, mulesing-free wool, FSC certified viscose and recycled polyester. The studio has a zero-waste policy. All products are knitted directly into shape with less than 1% waste. This waste, together with residual test samples, is upcycled as a filling material in seat cushions. All products are produced locally in Berlin.
