Lab at the Swedish School of Textiles key to vehicle upholstery development at Polestar

In the lab, Maria Uggla, Colour and Material Design Manager, and Komal Singholour and Material Designer, both of Polestar, have worked with recycled materials through 3D knitting, a new technology for the automotive industry. This is a sustainable technology where recycled materials can have new uses and the product can be produced in just the right size without waste.

The Knitting Technology Lab has world-leading expertise in round and flat knitting and the lab is continuously used to support the production of prototypes for national and international companies.
