Welded Loop Biobased
In collaboration with Knit in Motion 

 

Welded Loop Biobased is a collaborative research project by Knit in Motion and Studio Joris de Groot, exploring the potential of PLA in design through knitting, welding and 3D printing techniques. The research focuses on PLA as a biobased alternative to conventional fossil-based plastics. Together we investigate how this biobased material and innovative production techniques can create new functional and sustainable possibilities for fashion accessories such as footwear and bags. 

 

At Dutch Design Week 2026, we will present material experiments, samples and prototypes, offering a glimpse into the ongoing research and the relationship between material, process and design. 

 

We would love to welcome you at Something Bigger and share our work with you. 
We will be present during the exhibition, if you would like to make a personal appointment, let us know by email: info@jorisdegroot.com. 

 

See you at Dutch Design Week 2026!

 

Best,

 

Suzanne & Joris
