Studio Stefan Scholten

Stefan Scholten has become one of the defining voices of Dutch design, graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1995. The Amsterdam-based designer is known for a reductionist style combined with an idiosyncratic use of colour, working with clients such as Maharam, Cappellini and 1616 / arita japan. His designs are functional and applicable, but always expressive, the result of an atelier-method-of-working. During the design process, he thinks with his hands as much as possible—sketching, modelling and mixing colours until an original and new idea or object emerges.

Atelier by Studio Stefan Scholten

Stefan Scholten is a studio designer. He takes a thinking-hand approach, developing products by drawing, building paper models and hand-mixing colours. The Atelier palette refers to existing products, materials, and tools in the studio. It is as interesting on its own as when combined with materials normally found in the interior—porcelain, textile, wood. 14 colours accent and balance to create a harmonious yet vivid environment.
