MotivMfg’s first stand-alone store is located in a former factory complex built by the former DDR in the 1950s. Now known as the 798 Art District, it was one of the most important industrial areas in Beijing during the latter half of the 20th century.
Realized in collaboration with Polish architect Filip Galuszka, the store is planned rigorously around the original modular layout in the Bauhaus tradition, evoking distant memories of public spaces of a bygone age.

Our interest in heavy knitwear comes from the winter garments of the past. Rather than following the contours of the body, they create their own shape through knit density, yarn thickness, and silhouette. Their weight offers more than warmth; it creates a sense of space and comfort around the body.
At MotivMfg, we explore how fiber, yarn construction, and knit structure shape the character of a fabric. Rather than pursuing lightweight cashmere, we choose to retain its natural thickness and substance.
Cashmere Towel Knit is made from Consinee’s 15-micron pure cashmere yarn, knitted in a dense, heavyweight terry structure using double-ply yarn. The result is a full-bodied texture reminiscent of traditional heavyweight knitwear, combining the softness of cashmere with warmth and a comforting sense of weight.

Corduroy’s texture is defined by the relationship between its pile and ground fabric. Silk Pile Corduroy is distinctive in that its pile is woven entirely from silk, rather than the cotton commonly used in traditional corduroy.
To recreate this 1970s textile, we revisited traditional weaving techniques in Huzhou, Zhejiang, using an old narrow-width loom to reproduce its original structure.
The natural luster and flexibility of silk give the pile a softer, fuller hand feel and a more refined texture, while retaining the dimensional character of corduroy. Our focus extends beyond the fabric’s appearance to the weaving process and material qualities that define it.

The 10th Anniversary Jacket is based on the British military MK3 flight jacket, with its dye color inspired by the red wall of MotivMfg’s 798 flagship store, translating the brand’s physical surroundings into the garment itself.
Three details reference the brand’s language, imagery, and history: the “動機製作所” seal-script embroidery, a lining printed with J.F.J. Schmidt’s hand-drawn moon illustration, and a commemorative label inspired by a 1920s train ticket.
Rather than a product made solely for commemoration, we see it as an everyday jacket with the character of a personal archive. Its familiar military construction carries MotivMfg’s memories forward into daily wear.

For MotivMfg’s 10th anniversary, we collaborate with Japanese vintage watch brand @vague_watch_official on a timepiece based on the Zerograph mechanical watch.
Featuring a full-metal bracelet and dial, paired with a specially made aluminium alloy case, the project explores the relationship between time, material, and mechanical design.
More than a collaboration, it reflects ten years of MotivMfg’s approach to design: material-driven, structurally considered, and made to be used over time.
CASE : Stainless steel Old processing [ size: 32mm ].
MOVT : Japanese automatic movement (Miyota 6T51)
BODY : Dome-shaped hard crystal glass
Belt : Stainless extention [ size:17mm ].
Water resistance : 50m Water resistance

Wool’s water resistance comes from its fibre structure: an ultra-thin lipid layer of higher fatty acids, bound via thioester linkages, forms a natural hydrophobic barrier, while hydrophilic structures inside the fibre absorb and transport moisture outward — “repelling without, absorbing within.” Optim technology, developed by Woolmark and Nanshan Group, pre-stretches Merino fibres before spinning and releases tension during wet finishing, causing dramatic yarn contraction and an exceptionally dense fabric. Water resistance comes from structure itself — fibre gaps compressed beyond droplet penetration — not DWR or PFAS. Woolmark cites increased hydrostatic head; the 600mm figure should be verified against Nanshan’s reports. Unlike Gore-Tex’s PTFE membrane (9 billion micropores per square inch, physically isolating water from vapour), Optim lets the fibre grow into its own waterproofing, independent of coating integrity. Natural wool’s waterproofing is grown; synthetic is applied — one accepts change, one resists it.

AW26, Chapter One of the 10th Anniversary Collection. Inspired by the Einstein Tower — where relativity meets architecture, translated into cut and cloth.

MotivMfg AW26
the first chapter of MotivMfg’s 10th Anniversary collection, is inspired by early 20th-century experiments with time — centred on a single building: the Einstein Tower in Potsdam, near Berlin.
Built to test Einstein’s theory of relativity, the Tower collected starlight during eclipses to confirm whether light bends under gravity. Designed by Erich Mendelsohn, it is a masterpiece of German Expressionism — its organic, almost living form a marvel of engineering for its time. With permission from the Berlin State Museums, we have reproduced two of Mendelsohn‘s original sketches as prints for the season. The tower’s interplay of curved and cruciform structures has also shaped the collection’s tailoring.

The feather-winged moth and ant images on the Dala Shirt are drawn from Robert Hooke’s Micrographia, published in 1665. The significance of this book lies not only in its being the first record of the microscopic world, but also in how it transformed the very act of ”looking“ — structures once invisible to the naked eye were precisely translated into engravings. The feather-like, divided fibers of the moth‘s wings, the ant’s body annotated with lettered labels — all reveal early science‘s fascination with order and taxonomy. MotivMfg repositions these images within a lightweight shirt system, turning the garment into a wearable specimen sheet, and returning the act of ”looking“ back into the everyday.
