Design Miami, booth #19

For the 4th time VIVID Gallery will be joining Design Miami/ the bi-annual fair for limited-edition, experimental and historically significant design. In Miami VIVID will present the complete installation of Studio Job’s Farm.

This presentation, in conjunction with the Zuiderzee Museum, will be the first time to be seen in the United States. The Farm consists of 30 objects crafted from rosewood, bronze, leather and glass, each in an edition of 6 pieces.

Farm is a tribute to a perfect country life – a fictive farmer and his wife living in an ignorant and happy scenery. Far away from the fear that surrounds everyday life, the Farm can be seen as a perfect hallucination.

The series has been added to the permanent collection of the Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen. Studio Job's body of work stretches to the horizon of the field with unorthodox installations, collections and unique objects. Denying functionalism, while embracing sculptural aspects of the object, the works are historical, narrative, intelligent and perfectly manufactured.

Japanese furnishings

Scholten & Baijings have designed three tables in thinned wood for the new brand ‘K New Standard’ Japan. The tables vary in size, colour and pattern and are the result of considerations based on the characteristics of thinned wood as well as woodworking traditions. Small diameter wood is joined to form a volume. The symbolic layers of a contemporary view on traditional shapes and techniques are achieved by superimposing
different layers of colour shades and patterns. The texture of the wood is overlayed with translucent colour, which in turn is overlayed with a printed graphic pattern. The layers balance each other out and create depth in the stained and printed oak.

Also on display in Rotterdam will be:
- The Scholten & Baijings collection of glassware produced by Royal Leerdam Crystal, using the purest variety of crystal a pink transparent layer is overlayed with a white opaque layer, with a line design cut using a small diamond disk.

- Conversation pieces for the interior, items that constitute a contemporary interpretation
of masterpieces from the Zuiderzee museum collection like the marken cabinet and the pegged chair.

- New 'classic' lounge chair for Gelderland

- Suprisingly new 'Vegetables'

Scholten & Baijings

Stefan Scholten (1972) and Carole Baijings (1973) established Scholten & Baijings, Studio for Design, in 2000. Scholten & Baijings produce both independent and commissioned work that is presented in galleries and museums, and sold worldwide. In addition to their own collection, they work for companies and institutions such as National Historical Museum, Zuiderzee Museum, Amsterdam Historical Museum, Royal Crystal Leerdam, Thomas Eyck and many more. In their designs they make use of grids, light effects, colour, transparency and layered patterns. Scholten & Baijings’ work is characterized by minimal design and a keen eye for detail.
