For Dutch designers Stefan Scholten and Carole Baijings, the creative tensions between color and pattern, between surface and form, and between design and production define every project their studio undertakes. They dive deep into art and design history for inspiration, while always looking ahead to invent new ways of living, working, and making in the world.
Partners in work and life, they established Scholten & Baijings as a formal practice in 2000. Since then, their process has evolved into a natural division of labor, with Stefan focusing on ideology, Carole on details and production. Their home and family famously form the testing grounds for every product they produce.
