Scholten & Baijings was commissioned by the TextielMuseum to design The Secret Garden Project. Inspiration was drawn from the Scandinavian design tradition, where high-quality workmanship, aesthetics and a close relationship with nature always played an important role. The garden surrounding the studio of Scholten & Baijings in Amsterdam, designed by the famous Dutch landscape designer Piet Oudolf, served as starting point for the assignment. His design drawing is translated into this woven textile. The project includes seven other textile designs, along with a 3D-printed lounge chair.
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.
