“If Knit were a place, it would be a forest setting, an oak forest planted within concrete,” explains the designer who emphasises the capacity of the collection to create intimate ambiences and generate a strong sense of connection with its settings.We are speaking to the multi-disciplinary German designer Meike Harde, who is based in Cologne about her Knit collection. A design that combines Vibia’s innovative and profound knowledge of lighting together with the passion that its author feels for the world of textiles, that has resulted in a markedly tactile and material design.Sinuous suspended light fittings and floor lamps where light and material come together, with their characteristic ribs that project different colours and densities, soft and textured surfaces that underscore a sensation of comfort. Harde imagines them as a place, a feeling, a season, an artist and a taste.
