Appropriating a technique typically used in mattress production, Borre Akkersdijk creates a collection of 3D knit garments that are essentially “ready made.” The garments are created on a knitting machine that produces a round tube of fabric with seam allowances that are ready to be sewn. The fabric is also filled with a “filler thread” that gives it its dimension.
It’s quite fascinating to watch an industrial process be retooled to fashion garments and witness the resulting outcomes.
