Matt is a knitted lighting element with the ability to dynamically adapt itself according to the individual needs of its user, changing its appearance with the place of installation. Hung as a single piece, knotted in a group or set on a hook on the wall: Matt simply fits into the scene of its placement, draping itself to the shape and situation of a room. The fluffy woven fabric of the knitting hides the sober technology within (like cables and socket) and evokes the impression of ropes meeting and melting into each other. The energy-saving bulb used for Matt radiates a warm, glowing light.

The yarns used for Matt are imported from Italy and knitted in Bavaria. The characteristics of the yarn are dense and tight, so the knitting structure is more defined. The different yarns are chosen in different colours to enhance the meaning of colour through the use of the material. The available styles of Matt therefore not only differ in nuances of colour but also in the differentiation of material.

The electric pieces are first put together, then threaded through the knit-ware by disabled people in a Berlin workshop at Vfj Werkstätten.
