Technology Epiphany and Knitwear Design: Critical perspectives and possible applications

This paper aims to frame the concept of Technology Epiphany (Verganti, 2011) by relating it to the connections found in the recent literature concerning the field of Knitwear Design (Affinito, Conti, & Motta, 2017). Furthermore, starting from an interpretative vision of Peirce's semiotic triangle, as applied to the contemporary design context (Zingale, 2020), this article aims to propose a critical analysis of some aspects of the concept of Technology Epiphany, envisaging a practical application in the field of knitwear design.
