In tribute to the global tradition of mask-making, Belgian designer Stefan Schöning has now created his own decorative mask collection called Langkawi. These five anthropomorphic designs are named after Langkawi, a Malaysian island that is home to skilled woodcarvers and to the beautiful hardwood used for this collection.

The masks exude rhythm, and are symmetrical in their asymmetry, echoing Schöning's minimalistic style. The collection includes five masks: Eclipse, Elephant, Offspring, Sunrise, and Toucan.

Stefan Schöning

After he graduated as a product developer from the Henry van de Velde Institute in Antwerp, Stefan Schöning set up his multidisciplinary studio in 1994. The Folder chair, cut and folded out of one single piece, gained worldwide acclaim in 2001 and has since become a classic. Shortly after, Schöning received assignments from a growing number of international manufacturers. The new corporate style he designed for the Belgian railways in 2005 was his first assignment given by the public sector, for which he received several international accolades. In 2008, Schöning was named ‘Designer of the Year’. In 2011 he designed the setting for the ‘Belgium is design’ exhibition in the prestigious ‘Pinacoteca di Brera’ during the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Lately, the studio also started to develop objects for public space interiors and natural parks.
