Scholten & Baijings

I love the work from Scholten & Baijings! I love their distinctive color use, the transparancy and the layering in their work. Stefan Scholten and Carole Baijings established Scholten & Baijings in 2000. Stefan is a graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven and Carole Baijings is autodidact in the design field. Their designs are the result of their particular way of working with craft and tradition investigations. By forming ideas and prototypes by hand new ideas develop which can be used for the final design, for this reason the computer is only rarely used in the beginning of the development of a new design, only in the final phases. Scholten & Baijings designs for various companies including Hay (textiles & rugs), Schönbuch (coat hooks), 1616 / Arita Japan (porcelain) and even they worked on a concept car for Mini. So many different products but always recognizable as Scholten & Baijings! A design duo that the Netherlands can be proud of! Hope you like their work as much as I do, I’d love to hear what you think!
