Ilia Eckardt

Ilia Eckardt is a Belgian designer who has developed a unique vision for the use of knitting as an artistic and decorative medium, elevating it to new heights within interior design. Raised in a creative environment in Antwerp, where knitting was central, his passion was born while observing the work of his mother, Hilde Frunt, a key figure in Belgian fashion and collaborator of designers such as Raf Simons, Dries Van Noten, and Ann Demeulemeester. This legacy has transformed into his own unique approach, where traditional knitting techniques are reinterpreted through experimentation with materials and shapes.

Her work combines technical expertise, textile creativity, and aesthetic sensibility, resulting in pieces that fuse art, fashion, and interior design. Ilia Eckardt transforms knitting into a contemporary visual language with a handcrafted soul, capable of intertwining with residential spaces and high-end decorative projects. Her approach makes textures and volumes the centerpieces, bringing warmth, sophistication, and character to every space.
