With the optional SoftSound® backing, InfiKnit™­ meets all the requirements for a sound-absorbent ambiance that is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally exceptional.

Taking inspiration from the Nike FlytKnit , a revolutionary technology innovation that has its roots in the world of sneakers. Introduced in 2012, it marked a significant milestone in the athletic footwear industry. The inspiration behind FlyKnit came from the desire to create a show that would provide a snug, sock-like fit while minimizing material waste during production.

The traditional process of constructing sneakers involved cutting and stitching together various pieces of fabric, leading to excess material and increased manufacturing costs. Nike’s FlyKnit changed the game by utilizing a unique knitting technique, similar to the one used when making socks, to seamlessly weave the upper portion of the shoe in a single piece.

InfiKnit™ epitomizes a harmonious fusion of fashion technology and architecture. Its 3D knitted yarns weave a tale of sustainable products, exceptional creativity, and boundless potential. As we embark on this new era of design, InfiKnit™ stand as your steadfast companion, propelling your architectural visions beyond the ordinary, into the extraordinary.
