Originally from Skopje, North Macedonia, knit designer Goran Sidjimovski is currently based in Berlin. He studied fashion design at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin and the Polytechnic University in Madrid. After seven years of work experience and projects in Madagascar, China and Germany, he specialised in flat-knitting and started BOI in 2022 - a knit studio and brand for home textiles.

The design and development approach of the studio is driven by a trial and error and hands-on mentality and aims to challenge the perception of knitted textiles. Sustainability plays a key role and is reflected throughout the design and production process.

By experimenting directly on the machine with the wide array of knitting techniques and yarns, different textile surfaces and samples come to live. The visual and tactile guide the product concept. The form and graphic as the last step in the process, are usually a reflection of the current mood of the designer. Collection N°1 is all about the organic, fluid and non-linear.
