Designing products since 1994 and awarded the title
Belgian Designer of the Year 2008, Schöning is a familiar
name in the world of product design. He gained international
acclaim for designing the Folder chair in 2001, that has
since become a classic. Stefan successfully completed
many other projects, such as a new corporate style for the
Belgian national railways in 2005, and the setting for the
‘Belgium is design’ exhibition in the prestigious ‘Pinacoteca
di Brera’ during the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2011.
Stefan Schöning’s design style can be described as
minimalistic. In his own words, elimination is an important
part of the design process: “if you draw a line, it has to replace
all other redundant lines. This is absolutely necessary to
keep the world free from clutter and excess”. For Gardeco,
Stefan Schöning designed the Mushroom,Pisco-lines and
