It’s been a busy time recently for stefan schöning. He was named Designer of the Year by the Interior Foundation and by Belgian magazines Weekend Knack and Weekend Le Vif/ L’Express in 2008, and he has been struck by the attention his work has received. He has appeared frequently in many press reports both in Belgium and abroad. “I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride. I’ve had to design new traffic lights for Flanders in northern Belgium and a new corporate identity for Belgian Railways. A number of my designs apparently strike a chord with the public. But a lot of it is to do with Folder. That project has been a pivotal point in my career.”
