# Sculptural 3D-Knitted Furniture Floor Skrabanja Uses 3D-Knitted Fabric for This Modern Collection By Kalin Ned | Published 2020-01-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dknitted-fabric References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/12/17/3d-knitted-seats-floor-skrabanja/) & [skrabanja](https://www.skrabanja.com/) With the hopes of designing something new and eye-captivating, Floor Skrabanja — a graduate of the [Design Academy Eindhoven](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linoleum-furniture-collection), utilizes 3D-knitted fabric for a sculptural collection. The range reinterprets a chair, a stool, and a bench. Each piece appears "covered with a seamless, continuous piece of fabric that is sleep on like a sleeve." The collection is completed in collaboration with experts from the [Textile Museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/williamssonoma-greenrow) in Tilburg. The 3D-knitted fabric is an evolution of the art of knitting, in reference to the digital age. The process combines the craft of knitting with digital pattern-making. The material that is used throughout this process "influences the shape and feel of the outcome," which differs from traditional 3D-printing techniques.
