Stefan Schöning

After he graduated as a product developer from the Henry van de Velde Institute in Antwerp, Stefan Schöning set up his multidisciplinary studio in 1994. The Folder chair, cut and folded out of one single piece, gained worldwide acclaim in 2001 and has since become a classic. Shortly after, Schöning received assignments from a growing number of international manufacturers. The new corporate style he designed for the Belgian railways in 2005 was his first assignment given by the public sector, for which he received several international accolades. In 2008, Schöning was named ‘Designer of the Year’. In 2011 he designed the setting for the ‘Belgium is design’ exhibition in the prestigious ‘Pinacoteca di Brera’ during the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Lately, the studio also started to develop objects for public space interiors and natural parks.

    Glass Decor Close Encounters SET Azul-Ambar by Stefan Schöning

    GARDECO is where new ideas in art meet high-end decoration. The Belgian artist and renowned architect Stefan Schöning astonishes yet again with a beautifully abstract, balanced work of art. The idea for Close encounters, a piece in mouth blown glass, arose at the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic. Governments took measures that made us feel safe, but also quite lonely and estranged from one another. The desire to be close to his loved ones was what drove Schöning to design Close encounters. Rather than to portray distance, the artist decided to concretise the opposite: closeness.
    Schöning consciously selected glass as a medium for Close encounters, as it can be mouth blown and its properties allow two ‘bubbles’ to cling to each other. Besides this, the transparency of the work and complementary colours enhance the effect of attraction.

    Material: Glass
