Herman Miller and Maharam Design Studio

Herman Miller and Maharam present “Chromatography: The Colour World of Scholten & Baijings” at Herman Miller’s showroom in Milan.

The color-filled exhibition was designed by Stefan Scholten and Carole Baijings, and will serve not only as the debut of three new textiles they created in collaboration with the Maharam Design Studio—Mesh, Tracery, and Pare—but also as the first public showing of their inaugural furniture collection for Herman Miller—the ColourForm Sofa Group.

Upholstered in the three new textiles, Scholten & Baijings’s new ColourForm Sofa Group for Herman Miller is the perfect expression of its designers’ artistic process. Scholten and Baijings sculpt in pattern, texture, and color. When designing, they consider the play of light and shadow on textiles, and the geometry of forms that comfortably host a variety of human postures in furniture.

In their ColourForm Sofa Group, the result is a collection that builds welcoming lounge seating landscapes from a vocabulary of multiple pieces, including two- or three-seat sofas with or without arms, a club chair, ottoman, bench, sectional, and the distinctive tête-à- tête.

Each piece of the collection can stand alone or be combined with others to provide a place for work, play, or respite in public or residential spaces.

“Chromatography: The Colour World of Scholten & Baijings” will be on view at Herman Miller at Corso Garibaldi 70
