FACET CABINET

Designed for HAY by Dutch designer Stefan Scholten, Facet Cabinet is a versatile, multifunctional storage solution that is easy to move around. Its name taken from the faceted surfaces, which add a sophisticated slant to the minimalist design, Facet combines visual appeal with high functionality.


Featuring a revolving integrated door and supplementary wheels, Facet is designed to adapt its task to its surroundings. Made from minimum 30% post-consumer recycled ABS, Facet Cabinet is available in two different heights in a range of timeless colours.

Facet’s flexibility enables it to be used in a wide variety of rooms and contexts – from a bedside cabinet in the bedroom and side table in the sitting room to a stationery organiser in the home office.

TULP CHAIR

Tulp's unique form can be traced back to a trip that the Dutch designer made to Indonesia. “Looking over some chairs placed around a series of round tables at a garden party”, Scholten states, “I observed that they were arranged in a pattern resembling a tulip and decided to use this as inspiration for the Tulp chair”.

It is available in three versions – on wooden legs, swivelling on a wooden base, or on a tubular metal frame. Its rigid polyurethane shell co-moulded with flexible expanded polyurethane padding and free of metal parts enables components to be separated for recovery and recycling.

NUANCE RUG

Nuance, the new collection by Studio Stefan Scholten that reflects a meticulous interplay of chromatic nuances.

This collection presents a unique visual proposal, where a pattern of parallel and intersecting lines appears and disappears within the same color scale. The result is contemporary kilim with a monochromatic design, yet with depth and texture.

Available in different sizes and three colors: lime, denim and coral.

LA CHAISE LONGUE

Following Catawiki’s commission to reimagine Charles and Ray Eames’ Lounge chair, Studio Stefan Scholten researched every part of the iconic design seeking for its essence.

This reductionist approach led to merge the chair and the ottoman in one piece, creating a sculptural piece with the original ergonomic silhouette and carefully-studied proportions.

Wood becomes the central part of this reinterpretation, stripping the chair of upholstery and metal parts, looking for a true Californian look.

ATELIER COLOUR STORY

Studio Stefan Scholten works under the atelier-method-of-working. Away from the computer, the products develop by hand-mixing colours, creating paper models, and drawings: a thinking-hands approach.


The Atelier colour story refers to existing products, materials, and tools from the studio. It is both applicable in our universe and combines with materials found in interiors, such as porcelain, textiles, and wood.

The colours tell a story of balance and accent to create a harmonious yet fresh environment.

2THRD CHAIR

The use of wood as a material and the organic shape provides a natural look and create a perfect seat angle. This stackable chair is lightweight and works in all types of private and hospitality interiors.

VOL TABLES

The Vol table's solid and elegant look arises from the encounter of two basic geometric forms: a conical base, formed from three curved birch plywood sheets covered in linoleum or Alpi veneer, and an oval or circular top of the same material covered in linoleum or Ecotone™, a new-generation, ecological and high-performance composite sheet.

Inspired by Stellar Works commitment to East-West harmony, the Taiko side tables draw from the iconic Taiko drums. Their rounded aesthetics and commanding presence influence the carefully crafted shapes, blending cultural elements for visually striking and functional design.

Available in three sophisticated terrazzo combinations - ice white, color gold, and carbon black - the Taiko side tables seamlessly combine form and function.

The Taiko side tables stand as a testament to the successful fusion of innovation and functionality in contemporary furniture design.

NOT TOO LITTLE, NOT TOO MUCH

Commissioned by Forbo Flooring, Studio Stefan Scholten researched the colour and application of furniture linoleum.

Inspired by the natural materials that you find in interiors, such as wood, leather, pottery and textiles, the Amsterdam-based studio developed a colour palette of five tones: clay, leather, walnut and the existing warm greys pebble and mushroom.

The end result echoes an emotional value and at the same time is optimally applicable. To demonstrate the ideal use of this natural surfacing material, Studio Stefan Scholten designed a table and a stool with linoleum as a starting point.

SOLID & SHAPE CARPET TILES

Solid and Shape are a visual exploration of various recycling techniques. The different colours in the melange yarns give a surprisingly colourful impression when examined in detail.

Tarkett can separate the backing from the yarn and reuse it as backing for next DESSO carpet tiles. The yarns are reprocessed to produce new carpet yarns.

Stefan Scholten: "Our project was based on this process.  How do you translate Tarkett's cradle to cradle philosophy into a collection that visibly and tangibly reflects it? We wanted the carpet tiles themselves to reflect the fact that they are the result of recycling".

NICO COLOUR PALETTE

The design process started by creating a colour wheel with pragmatic colours taken from materials normally found in interiors⁠ —like wood, metal, concrete, and plants⁠—and intuitive accent colours overlapping each other.

The final selection (new colours 901-906) presents a fresh palette that can be used in both residential and contract upholstery projects.

CREATIVE DIRECTION

BN International has brought creative director Stefan Scholten on board to reinvent the company’s ambitious mission: to create traditional, high-quality wallpaper with unique designs. Another feature of this long-term partnership will consist of attracting other leading designers.

Stefan Scholten: ‘Irma Boom is an imaginative designer who always looks at her subject from an independent perspective. Her book designs create a world full of surprising compositions and provocative observations.

Essentially, that’s exactly what BN International aims to achieve with its collections: to change an interior into a new, surprising world. The book she created for BN International is not a run-of-the-mill company profile or a sales book with the various collections, but a source of inspiration that helps our customers create their own world.’

UNFOLD FAUTEUIL

With the Unfold armchair, Studio Stefan Scholten and Gelderland are taking an important step towards making furniture production more sustainable.

No glue is used in this armchair. The model is built in layers with a metal frame as a base. The webbing straps that provide comfort are then enclosed in loose covers, making reupholstering or recycling very easy.

GELDERLAND - 2021

LAY OUTDOOR RUG

This modular rug for exterior and interior environments is created by joining elements in Maris fabric.

The surface of the rug consists of parallel strips with different dimensions. The strips are positioned according to a pre-established scheme, spaced apart orthogonally intertwined and then sewn with zigzag stitch.

The floor can be seen through the gaps created by the intertwine technique as well as through the fabric weave.

PAOLA LENTI - 2021

THE MARKER WALLPAPER

‘The inspiration for this collection was the original markers that I often draw with. This is not only reflected in the recurring striped pattern on the wallpaper but also in the way that the colours bleed into each other, which is characteristic of marker ink.

These “bleedings” have been perfected by BN’s advanced machinery in at least eight printing runs. So you can literally see my handwriting in this collection. With this personal collection, I want to give a taste of what’s to come in my partnership with BN for many years.’ – Stefan Scholten

BN WALLS- 2022

TRACES

A collection of stone wall patterns inspired by the landscape of the quarry.

Based in the foothills of the Apuan Alps, Luce Di Carrara has decades-long experience in manufacturing stone solutions. This heritage gave Studio Stefan Scholten the opportunity of working with the best artisans, state-of-the-art production techniques and being able to curate the most beautiful stone. The region is famous for producing some of the most celebrated stones that belong to the history of ancient and contemporary art. A unique territory that became patent after visiting one of the quarries.

The two patterns, Bench and Reverse, are inspired by the textures and shapes found in the quarry and pay homage to the local crafts and history.

LUCE DI CARRARA - 2023

STONE HOUSE PROJECT

The Stone House project is all about up-cycling stone waste by disclosing its beauty and considering different applications.

Stefan Scholten and his team explored centuries-old techniques in the industry, known as terrazzo, palladiana, mosaico and marmorino during a collaboration with Morseletto, which inspired them to use stone waste in a unique and very aesthetic way.

Saw residues, broken pieces, chunks and even marble grit are literally used to design and produce tailor made furniture, walls and even a stone carpet.

SALONE DEL MOBILE - 2021

S3 COLLECTION

'My designs in marble are basically an ode to italian life and to Forte dei Marmi, this beautiful location where I live and run my second design studio.

A round dining table, a coffee table are central furniture pieces where life happens with family and friends. The standing light always creates the right intimacy.

When those pieces are produced with the finest Italian marbles, they almost become a piece in-between art and design of a timeless beauty.' ― Stefan Scholten

STONE MADE ITALY - 2021

VORM AAN DE VECHT EXHIBITION DESIGN

Exhibition design for 'Vorm aan de Vecht' at Buitenplaats Doornburgh, a former monastery projected by Jan de Jong, pupil of monk-architect Hans van der Laan. The building, designed in the famous language of the Bossche school, uses principally brick, concrete and wood. and employs a special ratio and measure-system called the 'plastic number'.

In response to the sober architecture and its rough textures, we created a series of coloured translucent foils to be applied on the windows using the 'plastic number' proportions. The colour brings life and nature into the building making a connection between the monastery and its beautiful surroundings.

As a support for the exhibited objects Studio Stefan Scholten designed large cabinets with natural aluminium frames and glass tops using lightness and reflections to complete the exhibition.

BUITENPLAATS DOORNBURGH - 2022

AFRICAN-INSPIRED ACOUSTIC PANELS

Studio Stefan Scholten used Maharam textiles woven in African-inspired compositions for the offices of Aham in Amsterdam.

Aham Vastgoed is a real estate company that has been supporting, for many years, projects with a direct link to the improvement of education, living conditions and healthcare in Africa.

“Our western perception of textile design has been coloured by the expectation of seeing an identical pattern or motif repeated within a certain area of cloth. It therefore comes as a surprise to find that African artists show an extraordinary uniformity in their taste for varying the geometric with the unexpected.” Christopher Spring - curator of the British museum of London
