Design - Arnhem, Gelderland, Netherlands
Knit in Motion [KiM] is a knit development and consultancy studio rooted in founder Suzanne Oude Hengel's core values of research and experimentation. Bridging the gap between technical expertise and design, KiM uses a hybrid approach that favours hands-on knit development. With a focus on functionality that is highlighted by a bold aesthetic, KiM aims to disrupt, rethink, and reform the way knitting is defined. Primarily focusing on the footwear industry, KiM delivers tailor-made knit solutions to a variety of brands, including Rothy's, On Running, and Timberland Construct 10061. Specialising in Stoll flatbed knitting technology, KiM is not limited by machinery or geography and works with brands both on-site, using their own equipment, as well as in-house, using Stoll Industrial Machines. With HQ in The Netherlands, KiM's international team consists of six women, also based in the United Kingdom and Canada.
