Knitting has evolved beyond a cozy pastime into a significant influence in modern design, inspiring unique pieces in furniture, lighting, and home accessories. This craft incorporates texture and warmth, creating objects that transform living spaces by telling their own story. Designers are embracing this technique to produce human-centered designs that engage the senses and promote sustainability. In footwear, traditional sneaker culture is being challenged due to its wastefulness, prompting the creation of sustainable alternatives like Sneature, made from upcycled materials and eco-friendly processes.
Knitting, once tied to blankets and scarves, now inspires furniture, lighting, and home accessories, showcasing its potential for creativity and function.
By weaving tactility into objects, designers craft unique pieces that engage our senses, offering comfort and making everyday furniture meaningful.
Sneaker culture contributes to waste with short lifespans and complex construction, leading to difficulty in recycling; sustainable alternatives are needed.
Burfeind developed Sneature, a sustainable sneaker made from upcycled and biodegradable materials, featuring a 3D-knitted membrane that provides flexibility and stiffness.
