Paper Table by Scholten & Baijings was developed for the project Total Table Design, an initiative of Royal Leerdam Crystal, Royal VKB and the TextielMuseum. For this project, Scholten & Baijings presented their vision of the art of dining, with new designs for tableware, crockery, cutlery and glassware. The subtle use of colour in Paper Table is characteristic of for the designers. The design process began with paper prototypes, which were translated into this table runner with paper-like structure. The table runner is sold under the label ‘by TextielMuseum’. In 2010 they recieved the Dutch Design Award for the tableware.
Stefan Scholten (1972) and Carole Baijings (1973) founded the design studio Scholten & Baijings in 2000. The duo work across product, furniture and graphic design, on both independent and commissioned projects, and exhibition design. Their work is distinguished by the use of grids, colour and graphic elements. A deep appreciation for craft and tradition creates an appealing balance between design and functionality. Their clients include HAY, IKEA and Gelderland. Their work is exhibited and collected worldwide, including by the TextielMuseum.
