The last few years we have been expanding our textile knowledge in the world of interior and outdoor designs developing high end products, always with our crafted touch.

We do all our research, designing and development in our offices in the heart of Antwerp. We do many of our initial developments at our in-house studio using crochet, hand knit and domestic knitting machines.

We are looking for someone who is passionate for design, with a sensibility for the practice. We are a knitwear focused company so an interest in knit is key. Your main role will be to assist the design team with research & design as well as the product development team with sourcing of production.

You will be in the studio assisting the design team in sketching as well as building prototypes and build up of the new product collections. The focus will be on lighting design as well as furniture design, technical knowledge in lighting design as well as furniture design is a plus.

A driving license is a plus point.
