Studio Job

Designers Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel make up “Studio Job”. They are young, dynamic and highly talented. Their design language is eclectic; Job and Nynke use the “classics” in their own way. Irony thereby leaps to the fore; a typifying feature of this style.

However, they also take it a step further. These designers realise the subject at a very high level of craftsmanship, returning to old techniques and settling for nothing less than absolute perfection. It is this that makes their work so interesting, taking us back to the days of the expertise of the ancient guilds, when art was defined as the creation of an exact copy of reality. Their work consists of wondrous icons of today, with an ironic reference to the past.

Publisher “T.E. Thomas Eyck” has now issued this series, “Tin-Ware”. The series was created by one of the oldest tinworks in the Netherlands, “Tingieterij Leerdam”, and is released as a limited series of 150 per subject.
