Studio Stefan Scholten presents The Stone House
Masterly ― Dutch Pavilion
FuoriSalone, 5th ― 10th September 2021
The internationally acclaimed Dutch designer Stefan Scholten will be presenting his latest studio design project, The Stone House, at the Milan Design Week 2021. The architectural installation consists of different ambiances defined by wall elements and furniture made in various types of stone. A suggested house produced of 100% marble and travertine waste. “Stone is a huge source of inspiration for me,” says designer Stefan Scholten. “The natural material is so enormously varied, colorful and with unique patterns. As a result, it offers an endless range of possibilities”.
After carrying out research work on the surprising natural colors and patterns of marbles, with this new project, Stefan Scholten has started to experiment with new color and material combinations. As a colorist, used to the atelier way of working, Stefan and his team have worked along with the masters of the traditional techniques to give a new and irreverent interpretation by designing and creating tailor-made edition pieces.
The Stone House can be seen at Masterly — The Dutch in Milano from Sunday, 5 September through Friday, 10 September 2021 at Palazzo Francesco Turati in the center of Milan.
The Stone House is the first solo project of Studio Stefan Scholten after Scholten & Baijings parted ways. He does not view this transition as a closure of an era, but rather as the continuation of his 26-year development as a designer. ‘In designing The Stone House Project I let myself be guided by the use of stone waste and its aesthetic quality.’
ABOUT STUDIO STEFAN SCHOLTEN

By applying the atelier way of working, he has been involved in projects ranging from furniture, lighting, and accessories to textiles, consumer electronics, and interior design.
CONCEPT OF THE STONE HOUSE
Stefan Scholten chose to use loose separate walls and interior elements to evoke the suggestion of a house, rather than the building of a complete house with a roof. The house has become a central icon of the time we are living and the place where life happens every day and key subjects are discussed. The environment is certainly one of them. All elements are made of stone waste collected from different quarries.

Last week the Pantone Color Insitute released the Color of the Year 2022, the Very Peri. It's a blu nuance that turns into purple with a bit of red, and it's "a lively and joyful color that encourages people to dare". Very Peri mixes the calm of the blu color and the energy coming from the red: it […]
"The beauty is in the eye of the beholder". With these few words Oscar Wild has been able to synthesize an extremely current concept, that diversity is a value that will be appreciated by many, but perhaps not by everyone. The Calacatta Picasso is Italian marble, originally from Garfagnana, which makes diversity its main feature. […]
Max Marmi Carrara accepted the challenge of participating in Marmo+Mac 2021 and did so by trying to communicate, through a somewhat revolutionary booth, its vision. The new balance between man and nature has been represented by a series of volumes, symbols of the stone quarry, and the contrast with the floor of Calacatta Macchia Vecchia® […]
