New Industrial Order

New Industrial Order (N.I.O.) is a laboratory for fashion on demand. An initiative for creative and visionary designers, engineers and entrepreneurs who work together to create a circular system for order-made fashion.

Founded in 2019, we decided not to work around the problems in existing value chains. Instead, we're building an entirely new value chain that truly delivers on our vision.

With today’s technologies we can reduce overproduction and waste. We can enable people to buy less but better clothes and create an efficient and responsible closed loop supply chain.

Stores can be restocked by local producers within a week, and ultra-personalized clothes can be produced on demand for unique customers, all within a transparent and accessible industrial system. At N.I.O. we design elements of this new system and test them through our network of customers and partners around the world.

3D printed knitwear

3D knitting is one of the most promising methods for circular fashion. Clothes can be order-made without creating waste, saving energy and materials. Due to the seamless construction, 3D knitwear can be unravelled and yarn can be re-used.

From bulk to on demand

N.I.O. supports designers and brands in the transition to knitwear on demand. Through experimental prototypes, we're developing a new creative process that unlocks robotic manufacturing's full potential, paving the way for sustainable fashion where every piece is made exactly when needed.
