Lan Krebs holds a Master of Fashion Design degree from The Swedish School of Textiles, where he specialized in knitting with a particular focus on circular knitting machines. Knitting machines are a central part of his creative process, serving as a direct-response tool for sketching and prototyping, and allowing him to freely experiment with material and form.

In his work, he combines knitting with techniques such as printing, dyeing and pleating, developing innovative textile surfaces and structures. This multidisciplinary approach allows him to explore new aesthetics and construction methods that push the boundaries of traditional knitwear. His work is characterized by an exploration of materiality and the relationships between structure, texture and form, understanding textiles as a medium for experimentation and the development of new spatial and visual solutions. Digital tools also play an important role in his practice, especially in garment prototyping. He explores their potential to improve design accuracy, increase efficiency and promote more sustainable approaches to production.

His goal is to expand the creative possibilities available to textile designers by combining traditional craftsmanship and new technologies. His work is driven by curiosity, experimentation, and a commitment to sustainability and innovation in materials.
