Kristine´s work is characterized by her excitement of working hands-on with the knitting

machine in the studio – using materials as wool, cotton and metallic yarns in a wide range

of different colour combinations. Her “strict” lines and simple forms allow her to focus on

the material itself and experiment with texture and color tones. She seeks to create an

sustainable collection of knitted pillows that people can slowly collect and use on a daily

basis in their home. Kristine makes all the samples and the final collection on her  

4gg Universal industrial knitting machine in her own knitting studio at Nørrebro in Copenhagen.                                                                                                                                   

All the yarn is purchased from European suppliers and it´s important to Kristine that the production

is as sustainable and transparent as possible.
