Textiles Entwerfen in Serie: Nahtlosigkeit als Gestaltungsprinzip bei der Hanro AG 1884–1991

The former Swiss textile factory “Hanro” produced knitted fabrics, underwear and outerwear in the 20th century. Seamlessness as a concrete textile technique as well as a design ideal was an important factor within the internal production processes. The author examines the textile design process in the context of changing fashion cycles and serial production. She provides new insights into the conditions of emergence of today’s globalized industry.
