Cassandra Sabo is a distinguished designer and hand-weaver renowned for her richly textured, sustainable textiles that infuse warmth and understated luxury into contemporary interiors. Her work seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with innovative design, resonating with discerning clients who value artistry, heritage, and exclusivity.

Originally from Montreal, Cassandra's foundation in Building Engineering cultivated an analytical and process-driven approach to design. Her extensive travels, marked by a deep appreciation for global cultures and craftsmanship, led her to London, where she earned a first-class degree in Textile Design from Central Saint Martins. Specializing in weave, she challenged traditional structures, earning accolades such as the Cockpit Arts/Clothworkers' Award.

Now based in Oxford, Cassandra has refined a signature style that fuses wool roving with experimental weaving techniques, creating tactile designs that are both modern and timeless. Each piece—be it a throw, cushion, lighting, or wall hanging—is meticulously handwoven, emphasizing texture, depth, and the intrinsic beauty of natural fibers.

Sustainability is integral to her practice. She minimizes waste by repurposing leftover yarns and fibers, spinning them into new materials for unique creations. Even the smallest offcuts from bespoke commissions are transformed into hand-stitched lavender sachets, gifted to clients as a thoughtful extension of her design ethos. All materials are consciously sourced within the UK, reinforcing her commitment to slow craft and sustainable luxury.

Cassandra's dedication to her craft extends beyond creation to education. Recognized as a Homo Faber Artisan—a testament to her exceptional skill and contribution to international craftsmanship—she actively shares her knowledge through workshops at The Oxford Weaving Studio and online courses, engaging with both local and international communities. Her bespoke creations have graced the homes of private collectors and design professionals worldwide. With an intuitive understanding of color and texture, Cassandra collaborates closely with clients to craft one-of-a-kind pieces that seamlessly integrate into sophisticated interiors.
