The presentation at Alcova 2023 is the official launch of the BOI brand.
Collection 01 is a capsule collection for home textiles and features eight products across the three categories of textile art, dining and living. Knits take the form of framed textiles, tapestry, table mat, coaster, table cloth, cushion cover, seat cushion and a blanket.
Additionally, knit as upholstery will be showcased through two furniture collaborations: a sofa by Milan-based interior designer Daniel Nikolovski, and a fold chair by Berlin-based woodworker Robin Norris.
By experimenting directly on the machine with the wide array of knitting techniques and yarns, different textile surfaces and samples come to live. 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 01 is all about the organic, fluid and non-linear.
The used 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 a seat cushion.
