The silberfischer label was established in 2004 by Elke (Communication Designer) and André Riethmüller (Programmer) when they acquired a computerized stitching machine. To reanimate the dull image of drawn thread work they started to apply traditional techniques like cross-stitching to unconventional motifs, such as ghettoblasters and skulls. Their experiments resulted in fashionable stitching design for urban people. The label fishes for inspiration from everyday life in Berlin. Hence, unusual items like dusters or waxed Asian tablecloths find there way into their collection. The stitched buttons, with the cute name Buttonies, are unique. The shirts originate from continental clothing company and are produced sweatshopfree, exemplifying high quality. Design and stitching from Berlin:
Let’s rock the kreuzstich!
SILBERFISCHER sind Elke (Kommunikations-designerin) und André Riethmüller (Programmierer). Angefangen haben wir 2004 mit experimenteller Stickerei. Nun gesellen sich immer unterschiedliche grafische Produkte in unser Sortiment, denn Grafikdesign liegt uns am Herzen, egal ob auf T-Shirts, Caps, Buttons oder Wallsticker. Seit Ende 2006 haben wir auch einen Offlineshop in Berlin, den SILBERFISCHER's HOMESHOP!
Hier gibt es noch zwei Radiointerviews zu uns, die André gegeben hat:
