Yes! The very first edition of .utrecht.design has officially started!
From May 9–11, you can wander through sunny and explore beautiful locations in the city center — some of which are not usually open to the public — all filled with inspiring design by local creatives.

You can find me together with .day.tonton at , Oudegracht 283, Utrecht. Throughout the day we’ll be doing live and for you to see up close! We’d love to see you there!

Here’s what you can read about my work on the Glue Utrecht website:

Saskia Kappers continues the tradition of embroidery with Voortborduren*, seamlessly blending old techniques with modern craftsmanship.
From her studio at the green and inspiring Hof van Cartesius in Utrecht, she creates sustainable artworks that soften spaces, improve acoustics, and tell stories. Her work is not only decorative but also functional and spatial. She embroiders on materials such as recycled felt, Dutch sheep wool, and even paper — all carefully chosen for their texture and sustainability.

Each piece is unique or created in small editions: from her own creations to bespoke designs for private clients, businesses, or in collaboration with architects. With her background as an interior architect, she considers the overall design, ensuring that art and space complement and enhance each other.

*Voortborduren in dutch means: elaborate; borduren means embroidery

Yes, the studio at Hof van Cartesius is great, but… where exactly are you?! 🤔

Good news! From now on, it’s even easier to find us—whether you’re visiting on purpose or just passing by. We now have clear maps at the entrances to help you find your way. Super handy!!

On the first photo you see our studio! It’s already been over a year that I moved to this side of the Hof, and I’ve a feeling I will stick here for a while 😉 with FENNY FABER & Studio Wantia.

You can imagine how happy we are about this map showing our precise location now, and we think you will be too! 😁 So.. when are you stopping by?
