Art x Science knitwear by University of Zurich is a knitwear collection that brings together artists, designers, and scientists from a wide range of disciplines — with the aim of opening up new perspectives on a variety of complex research questions.

Out of this transdisciplinary exchange, seven knitted sweaters have emerged. Each one is based on current research from the University of Zurich and translates scientific knowledge into tactile and narrative forms.

Artists such as Leonie Böhm, Anna Anderegg, and Ibghy & Lemmens have responded to insights from brain research, astrophysics, infectiology, and human rights studies — weaving these mind-expanding impulses into their designs.

This collection was developed in collaboration with MRC Knitwear, Textil AG, and Biella Yarn (Südwolle).
