A Project by jenny sabin studio
commissioned by Nike, Inc

Featured at Nike FlyKnit Experience, Berlin

Jenny Sabin Studio showcases a new 52 foot long knitted structure commissioned by Nike FlyKnit Experience. The body, or more specifically the body in motion — pure performance itself — is the starting point of Sabin’s Berlin project. Sabin transforms patterns of biologically-inspired data into the geometry and material of knitted structure. Taking advantage of the formfitting nature of knitted structure, the surface patterns are generated by dynamic body data via 3D modeling environments to form a material construct for a unique response to the formfitting question delivered in the original brief.
