About Lattice

A Mission-Driven Nonprofit for the Future of Textiles

Lattice is a Cleveland-based 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to sustainable textile innovation. We work at the intersection of digital knitting, circular systems, and local manufacturing to help build a more resilient and responsible apparel ecosystem in the United States.

Who We Are

We are researchers, makers, and collaborators focused on one shared objective: transforming how textiles are designed, produced, and circulated so communities and ecosystems can thrive together.

Our nonprofit status allows us to pursue long-term public benefit. Instead of optimizing for short-term commercial outcomes, we invest in open research, practical experimentation, and collaborative networks that support equitable industrial renewal.

From whole-garment digital knitting to circular supply chain design, we build pathways that reduce waste, increase traceability, and strengthen regional manufacturing capacity.
