Designers Stefan Scholten

Stefan Scholten has become one of the defining voices of Dutch Design, since graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1995. He is known for his reductionist design style, combined with a unique use of colour. His designs are functional and applicable, but always expressive. Scholten’s approach is also known as the “atelier-method-of-working”. During the design process, he thinks with his hands as much as possible. He will keep on sketching, drawing and mixing colours until an original and new design emerges.
“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 its essence. This reductionist approach led to merging 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, for a true Californian look.
