    ST SC 14 Nico by Studio Stefan Scholten

    Bold red with a touch of orange. A deep tangerine the shade of freshly squeezed citrus. In textiles, rich colours are often used for smaller objects, like cushions, or as a statement, on a fully upholstered sofa. The same applies to paint—boldly painted window frames, or a statement wall can brings something else to, enrich, or make a whole interior.

    Recommended method for clear colour:
    To ensure the intensity of ST SC 14 Nico, defined as a ‘clear colour', we use special pure pigment to make the colour as clear as can be. These pigments often have low opacity, meaning they are less covering. We recommend a base colour in the same hue as ST SC 14 Nico for the most satisfying result.

    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.

    Portrait of designer Stefan Scholten for Scandinavian colour and design house, Blēo.

    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.
