Handmade linen table runners

Architecture and craftsmanship on your table.

Discover the handmade linen table runners by Kathryn Clark. In this special table textile, architecture, geometric design, and traditional craftsmanship come together. From her studio in Haarlem, Kathryn designs and creates table runners from high-quality European linen. The powerful patterns of unique joinery and the natural colors give your dining table a distinct character. The Table Runners are a timeless way to dress up your table, whether for an elaborate dinner with friends or family or for your daily moments at the table.

inspired by architecture and Japanese wood joinery

Kathryn Clark’s Joinery collection is inspired by the simple and well-thought-out constructions of traditional Japanese wood joinery. She translates this centuries-old visual logic of the joinery into her textile designs. Precise geometric shapes, harmonious color combinations, and natural linen combine to form a unique design.

Kathryn has a background in interior architecture, and urban planning plays an important role in this. Just as in architecture, her focus is on proportions, structure, and the power of simplicity. She translates the 3D designs of the wood joints into a 2D drawing on paper. This ultimately becomes the designs that reappear in the linen table runners. In this way, a linen table runner becomes more than a decorative accessory. It becomes a functional design in which material, form, and craftsmanship reinforce each other.

European linen, handmade in the Netherlands

Every linen table runner by Kathryn Clark is individually handcrafted in her studio. She uses exclusively European linen that is grown and produced in Europe and holds the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification. The back of the table runner is made of undyed linen, preserving the natural look of the material.

Linen is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating. It has a pleasant, soft texture and is suitable for use in every season. Whether you want to give your dining table a subtle accent or add color and character: with a handmade linen table runner by Kathryn Clark, you bring artisanal design and natural materials together at the table.
