Founded in 2021, Studio Haras is a creative studio dedicated to bookbinding and the art of bookmaking. With a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and materiality, Sarah explores how books can be more than just functional objects—they can be an extension of nature, sustainability, and mindful creation.
About Sarah
Based in Flanders, Belgium, Sarah De Laet is a bookbinder and designer with a passion for paper, print, and traditional binding techniques. With a background in Visual Design (LUCA School of Arts, Ghent) and Communication Management & PR (Thomas More), she combines storytelling, aesthetics, and craftsmanship to create unique, tactile works.
Her journey into bookbinding started during her studies and has since evolved into an ongoing exploration of sustainable and natural materials. While not every project in the past has fully embodied these values, she is actively shaping her practice into a work in progress, refining her approach to create books and stationery that are as environmentally responsible as they are beautiful.
Sarah is particularly drawn to the balance between tradition and experimentation, exploring ways to incorporate ecological materials and more conscious design choices. In addition to bookbinding, she also offers graphic design services (for book-related projects) and collaborations.
She is open to working on custom book projects, bookbinding workshops and artistic book explorations. Feel free to reach out if you're looking for a bookbinder or designer who values craftsmanship and sustainability.
