about
ODNA is a digital pattern design and development atelier, working with niche brands and small manufacturers. From intricate details for illustrations to skilled precision for pattern-making to smooth designs for branding, we offer custom solutions for each project.
We also partner with young and highly-skilled sewers for small-scale production with low MOQ.
Our work cycle has four components:
story
ODNA was conceived as an atelier to address systemic production shortcomings facing brands and manufacturers in the growing clothing and textile industry in Kosovo.
Our solution?
An efficient streamlined process, with digital pattern making at the center.
We are now proud to work with clients from all over Europe, with a focus on brands that strive for timeless designs and employ fair practices. We cherish and share these same values.
Inspired by renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando and his work’s resemblance to the craft of pattern-making as a form of art and precision, we adopted the name ODNA (reversing the letters of the architect’s name) as a perfect embodiment of our work and spirit.
We are three different persons, but we work as one body.
Let’s craft together.
