The Evolution of Flow
Welcome to B108 - a Sydney-based design studio creating sculptural movement objects, dance hoops, and slow fashion wearables for those who move with intention.
Where form and function meet. B108 is a study of artful objects and high-quality textiles rooted in circular design principles and artisanal production. As a direct response to a high-speed digital world, B108 is an invitation to relax into embodied art and conscious movement.
Our Story
Since 2005, our Sydney studio has been dedicated to celebrating the pure joy of spin, dance, and fitness. We began by handcrafting professional-grade hula hoops, supporting our community through local classes, performance art, and creative workshops.
As our community’s practice grew, so did our vision. We realised that the tools we move with are more than just movement props - they are sculptural objects and catalysts for deep mindfulness. This realisation inspired us to expand our collections around a dedicated circular design ethos.
After decades of performance and costume design, our founder, B.Star, formalised her vision by completing a Bachelor of Fashion Design at Sydney’s renowned Fashion Design Studio. This intersection of performance art and technical fashion design is where B108 was born.
Why 108?
It is a code - a reference to living on a sacred path where respect and integrity for our material world matters. By uniting performance art, a lifelong practice of yoga, and a dedication to slow fashion, B108 approaches creation as an act of responsible design.
Material Integrity and Circularity
Our philosophy is embedded directly into the physical objects we create. Circular design commits to the full lifecycle of a product, and so does B108. By combining natural fibres, surplus fabrics, and premium recycled materials, we build modern pieces in small-batch production runs that prioritise longevity and mindful consumption. By rejecting mass production, we respect both the maker and the material loop at every stage.
Having mastered the engineering of exceptionally durable, high-performance dance hoops crafted from recycled polymer, we advanced along our circular path, driven by the belief that materiality dictates the soul of every object we create.
This is where the journey took a sharp turn towards the earth. Up until this point, the core requirement of our materials was movement. In circus arts, yoga, swimwear, and across the fashion industry, prioritising movement has often meant relying on synthetic blends derived from fossil fuels.
While synthetic materials require careful management, true circularity focuses on their core strengths: durability and longevity. The most responsible path is keeping these materials permanently within a closed loop of utility - ensuring existing polymers are repurposed rather than discarded.
Beyond polymer lies a revival of natural fibres and a return to tactile authenticity.
In expanding our path from movement objects into natural textiles, B.Star brought her fine-art practice into the physical space - transforming original hand-painted artworks, dye studies, and illustration into luxurious natural silk and wool pieces. Every print is born from an intimate, slow-crafted process.
Our textile range is an exploration of stories found in fabric: a tactile experience of hand-painted, dyed, and embellished wearables designed to move with the body and elevate your day.
