Schema Rib Knit Cardigan

Structured through a series of boned knit channels that subtly contour the body, the Schema Rib Knit Cardigan draws on a construction technique seen in 1950s Swiss knitwear, where rib formations were engineered to stabilise garments without relying on lining or internal structure. The result is a surface that carries its architecture within the knit itself.

Defined by vertical knit channels that guide the garment’s structure, this cardigan follows the body while maintaining subtle tension across the surface.

Similar rib constructions appeared in mid-century Alpine and maritime knitwear, where structure was engineered directly into the fabric rather than imposed through lining or padding.
