Kirke Kirikall : CEO & Designer
Sara Rosqvist : Branding & Marketing Assistant
Kunstipisik is a knitwear brand created by textile designer Kirke Kirikall, exploring the connection between colour, emotion and wearable design. Through bold patterns and vibrant colour combinations, Kirikall transforms personal narratives and human feelings into knitted garments.
Rooted in traditional craftsmanship and guided by a contemporary design approach, Kunstipisik celebrates individuality and the warmth of handmade clothing. The pieces are created using natural fibres and thoughtful production methods, often made-to-order in order to minimise waste and support a slower relationship with fashion.
Kunstipisik is designed for people who appreciate expressive knitwear, craftsmanship and clothing that carries a story.
"Kirmastus" the story behind a knitwear collection 2024
BA of Textile Design at Pallas University of Applied Sciences, 2024
Supervisor: Liisi Tamm MA
What colour is love? What pattern is love? If love were a knitted colourful sweater, what story would it tell? The aim of my final project was to translate love stories into knitted patterns.
The sweaters of the “Kirmastus” collection are faithful companions on cold days, bringing cheerful mood and bright colours to the season when darkness prevails the most. I want to draw attention to the love around us, especially to the magic of unconditional love. Each pattern tells the story of a couples love. The wool sweater keeps the body warm, just as love keeps the soul warm.
The most important part of the design process is interpreting the collected stories through patterns. The “Kirmastus” collection is made of wool and follows the principles of sustainable design.
Knitwear collection "Kirmastus" was first showcased at Mood-Perfomance-Tants fashion show in Tartu, Estonia 2024.
