New Terrace at the Centraal Museum Utrecht | Design & Culture with Weltevree

Centraal Museum Utrecht is the oldest municipal museum in the Netherlands, home to an exceptionally diverse collection spanning fashion, design, applied arts, and fine art — including the world's largest collection of works by Utrecht-born artist Dick Bruna, creator of Miffy. The museum is known for its bold, eclectic identity, where historical depth and contemporary creativity exist side by side.

That same spirit now extends outdoors.

In designing the museum's new terrace, curators and interior architects Gerrit Vos and Jennemieke Van der Schoot-Vos, as WONDERS, approached the space with the same intention you'd bring to any considered interior: every piece had to earn its place.

"Every carefully chosen piece of furniture tells a fitting and coherent story — connecting designer, maker, and material. Together, they form a colorful, playful, and functional landscape that reflects the distinctly diverse character of Centraal Museum."

Among the key elements of this outdoor composition are Weltevree's Sofabeds — bringing their signature blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and quiet boldness to a setting that invites people to slow down, sit longer, and engage with their surroundings in a different way.

The result is a terrace that doesn't just complement the museum — it extends it.

The museum's beautifully enclosed garden is freely accessible whenever the museum is open — no admission ticket required. A rare thing: a designed outdoor space that truly belongs to everyone.

Sofabed

The sofabed by designer Hade Steenwinkel is inspired by the idea of having a place to both sit and sleep comfortably on the same sofa. The sloping angle of the mattress creates a relaxing seating position. Because the frame has an equal sloping angle, the mattress becomes flat when you rotate it 180 degrees. With just one quick turn, you’ll have a comfortable spot for an afternoon nap in the open air. The two-in-one sofabed is perfect for smaller spaces like a balcony or an urban garden. The Sofabed frame is available in Oxide Red and Agate Gray, the mattress and cushions are available in Light Gray and Faded Orange. Both the mattress as well as the pillows are made from a durable waterproof material called Acryl and have a ventilating underside. The mattress and cushions are water-resistant and dry quickly after a heavy downpour. During prolonged periods of bad weather, or outside the summer season, we do recommend storing the cushions indoors. We also offer the Sofabed Cover, which protects the cushions and extends their lifespan. Ideal for times when the cushions are left outside temporarily, such as overnight, during a rain shower or a short break.

Stringlight

The Stringlight is an atmospheric light string that brightens up any indoor or outdoor space. The mouth-blown glass shades are colored and coated and can remain outdoors all year round. Among the trees at the back of the garden, on the balcony or above the garden table: the Stringlight provides warm white or colored light. The Stringlight is available with white or colored glass shades and is 12 meters long. The bulbs (for the eight fittings) are included in the delivery. Note: attach the Stringlight at a minimum of five points to avoid too much pressure on the ends. The glass shades are blown with care. No shade is exactly the same and that makes each Stringlight a unique product. Because of the hardened coating, you can use the Stringlight the whole year round outdoors. On one end of the cable is a European plug and on the other is a metal hook to attach the Stringlight to a pole, branch or wall.
