Goudleer

For the small organ in The New Church I was looking for ‘runners’, long strips of fabric or leather that protect the keys when not being played. The organ and keyboards are mid-17th-century, and are among the best of that time. Sebastiaan van Soest made for this purpose a special kind of gilded leather, which is flexible and can comply with the keys. The runners are perfect — beautifully made and completely appropriate to the furniture’s unique, rich look. This is first-rate!Henk Verhoef, Organist De Nieuwe Kerk Amsterdam

It is wonderful to see that this type of art still exists. Every time, Sebastiaan surprises me with his ideas. I call it craftsmanship in its purest form. I think no one in the Netherlands can give our bag this unique, certain look. The kindness and modesty of Sebastiaan is beautiful to see; it adorns him and it is shown in his products.Omar Munie, Fashion Designer
