Glad to be back: Scholten & Baijings set the tone in Milan

Milan – With a celebratory and optimistic use of colour, pattern and texture, Scholten & Baijings are riding the feel good wave in Milan this year.

The Dutch design duo are presenting the same pieces they exhibited last year, ‘The Amsterdam Armoire’ and ‘Butte’ storage boxes. This year, however, these are now being manufactured industrially by Established & Sons.

Each of the ‘Butte’ boxes tells the story, through hand-drawn printed illustrations, of the life of an endangered species, including ‘the life of a tuna ?sh’, ‘the life of a turtle’ and ‘the life of a tree’.

Noted by LS:N Global last year, Scholten & Baijings are ones to watch: the pair are exhibiting in four separate locations around Milan this week.
