Creative Director (Textiles) at BYBORRE

About BYBORRE We are a textile innovation studio based in Amsterdam where we’re focussed on drastically changing the textile industry as we know it today. With an in-house knit lab with a range of circular knitting and flatbed machines, extensive yarn library, a creative atelier and a consultancy design studio we are experimenting and innovating to create the highest quality knits. It is our mission to create conscious creators and invite a wide variety of brands from world leading companies, from sportswear, to fashion, all the way to interior and automotive. Some of these brands include adidas, BMW, Rapha, Gore-Tex, and more. We ask these respected institutions to be “part of something bigger” and explore the power of bespoke and conscious textile creation together with us. The future of BYBORRE is to allow these brands to create in a conscious manner through our online platform (BYBORRE Create™), digitising the full supply chain from designing your unique textile through to producing the textile. We believe in transparency, supplying creators with tools to design and construct their own knits, based on their specific requirements, and make textile creation a fundamental part of their design process..
