Kids and knitting grandmas are sure to love the fun interior furniture design concept, ‘Phat Knits’ by Bauke Knottnerus.
It’s hard to actually define or describe Phat Knits, so I will gladly use the designer’s official description. “Phat Kits is a series of giant threads used to create, knitted or not, interior products.”
And there you have it. Half product, half DIY. You get these giant threads and it’s up to you to create whatever you want. You can ‘knit’ them together into a rug, a pillow, or just pile them up like a bowl of spaghetti!
