Scholten & Baijings is a joint venture between Stefan Scholten, who, in 1996, successfully completed his study at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and Carole Baijings who is an autodidact in design. In 2000 the duo started their joint venture and their work is characterised by restraint in design and eye for detail. In the year 2005 these designers started working on the Gelderland series 6900. The minimalist design seamlessly fits the Gelderland collection. Part of their work is brought into the permanent collection of the Central Museum in Utrecht, the Municipal Museum in Amsterdam, the Textile museum in Tilburg, all in the Netherlands, as well as in the Design Museum in Ghent, Belgium. They are both lecturers at the Design Academy since 2006.
