BOI is a Berlin-based knit design and development studio based in Berlin. The studio creates its own homeware collection and develops knits for fashion and interior designers and brands.
The BOI brand for home textiles is a continuous exploration of the art of knitting with sustainability as its core value. Led by founder and designer Goran Sidjimovski, the brand approach is driven by a trial and error and hands-on mentality and aims to challenge the perception of knitted textiles. Sustainability is reflected throughout the design and
production process in both environmental and social context.
By experimenting directly on the machine different textile surfaces come to live. The development is often non-linear: products may be inspired by technology or yarns, or samples may be developed with a specific product in mind.
Goran Sidjimovski holds a degree in Fashion Design and specialised in flat knitting throughout work and projects in Madagascar, China and Germany. What excites him most about knitting is its complexity, endless design possibilities and the opportunity to always learn something new.
