First ITME since 2018 ends “satisfactorily” for Mayer & Cie.

However, local companies assume that demand will return to normal in the medium term, according to Schramm. The number of sales on the ITME also indicates this.

The goal of Adidas’ ambitious Knit-For-You project was the production of customised clothing locally and by everyone, nothing more and nothing less. It combined a store with a miniature factory, allowing customers to have their very own personalised sweater knitted. There was a wide diversity of design possibilities within the set framework, and production took only a few hours. It was done directly in the pop-up store, on STOLL flat knitting machines that produced 3D flat knits in an automated ready-to-wear process.
