Furniture Linoleum x Studio Stefan Scholten
Commissioned by Forbo Flooring, Studio Stefan Scholten researched the colour effect and perception of Furniture Linoleum. Inspired by the unique naturalness of linoleum, he developed the soft colour shades clay, leather and walnut.
Stefan Scholten, internationally renowned designer and a leading representative of Dutch design, has worked for prestigious clients such as HAY, Maharam, Cappellini, Nanimarquina and 1616 / Arita. Based on his unique use of colour, reductionist and functional designs, Forbo Flooring approached him with a special assignment.
Stefan Scholten studied the original recipe and properties of linoleum. “I wanted to understand the pure material based on the original recipe. As a reference I used the natural materials that you find in interiors, such as wood, leather, pottery and textiles, and I searched for the original nuance. The end result echoes an emotional value and at the same time is optimally applicable.”
