HELPFUL NOTES:
Moooi uses a groundbreaking technique of printing digital images onto a variety of materials, such as wool, silk, and polyamide. The images shown for this product represent the image that will be printed onto your carpet. The carpet is expected to look different because it is a tactile material and not a flat image. Colour variations may occur.
Studio Job
Nynke Tynagel - Netherlands, 1977 / Job Smeets - Belgium, 1970
Studio Job was founded in 2000 by Nynke Tynagel and Job Smeets, who are both graduates of the Design Academy Eindhoven, and are now based in Antwerp (Belgium) and the Netherlands. They redefine the applied arts for the contemporary age. Their collaboration has created highly expressive, mainly one-off or limited edition works, from the outset.
Often cast in bronze or, later, crafted from laser-cut marquetry, the physical potential and malleability of the materials they use is pushed to the hilt. Their approach is more in keeping with that of traditional guilds than anything industrial. For Studio Job, creation is pre-eminent over definition. Smeets describes it thus: “Unlike most, we are probably not coming from Modernism. Studio Job’s contribution is that we have rediscovered a lost path. Consciously and carefully, we are positioning decorative arts in the twenty-first century. Is that design? Whatever. Is that art? Whatever, really.”
Studio Job’s work is widely collected both in the private and public sectors. Although, by definition, their work has primarily been geared towards collectors and museums, Studio Job has collaborated successfully with various likeminded brands eg. Bulgari, Swarovski, Bisazza, Venini, Land Rover, Viktor & Rolf and Moooi. There have been solo exhibitions in eg New York, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Milan, Geneva, Miami and Basel. Today, Studio Job designs are in collection of more than 40 museums worldwide.
