Leon Kingma

HKU (University of the Arts Utrecht)

We are Studio Coming Soon, a textile art collective wherein textile designers Arriënne Boon and Leon Kingma joined forces. We are a creative design duo with a big passion for textiles which defines the art we make. Our tapestries are based on our shared love for craftmanship and are entirely made by hand. In the tapestries we create, the power of the natural dyeing process and the unique way of knotting textiles and yarns, go together in a symbiotic way. We present tactile tapestries which navigate on the fine line between art and design: hand-crafted tactile artworks for the home environment, where our craftmanship becomes tangible. Every tapestry is unique and consists of a combination of love, time, effort and craftmanship, these elements together create the power behind Studio Coming Soon!
