Borre Akkersdijk – Founder at ByBorre
Borre Akkersdijk is a textile designer who discovered his passion for textiles during his studies at the Design Academy in Eindhoven. After working at Studio Edelkoort in Paris for three years, he started his own company. In 2015, he founded Byborre, together with Arnoud Haverlag, where they specialised in knitting fabrics with unique textures, with a focus on innovation and sustainability. Over the past six years, Byborre has grown into a company with 42 employees, with partnerships with major international brands such as BMW, Rapha and Natuzzi. In addition, Byborre has its own collection that is available worldwide in exclusive stores.
Borre will lead the studio visit on June 3 at the ByBorre Studio as part of the WDCD Live satellite programme.
This studio visit has limited capacity and is exclusively available to WDCD Live pass partout holders. Two weeks before the festival, all pass holders will receive a registration link to sign up for breakout sessions and studio visits. Registration works on a first-come, first-served basis — so be sure to act fast once the link lands in your inbox!
