The metallic feel of the material is displayed under special lighting.

This project arises from my aesthetic exploration. Inspired by architecture and interior design from the Art Deco period, this collection breaks the traditional image of knitting and the knitting technique. It is no longer warm and soft but cold and hard. Combining hardware and metallic yarns, my decorative knitwear designs create a feeling of luxury.
