Studio Job, (Job Smeets + Nynke Tynagel) is known for their rebellious, scale-less way of creating an own universe. The objects are often based on personal fascinations varying from unique pieces, editions, installations, interiors and assignments for public space. The way Studio Job is walking a tightrope between design and art gave the work an autonomous position in international design. More than ones Studio Job created a fresh discussion within on the existing norms of the contemporary field. Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel formed Studio Job after graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven back in 2000. Based in Antwerp the duo is currently working on a collection for the New York Moss Gallery. Entitled Home Work and described by the designers as 'Domestic Totems and Tableaux', the range consists of seven polished bronze and glass pieces including a stack of pans, an umbrella stand, a cookie tin and a lantern. The finished pieces will be displayed in a venue in the Zona Tortona and will be the Moss Gallery’s first outing at the Milan Furniture Fair. What else are you presenting at this year’s Salone? Silverware in 24K white gold mosaic for Bisazza at Super Studio Pui; ready to use objects in tin for Thomas Eyck at Spazio Rosanna Orlandi; and woven fabric by Edra, produced by the Dutch Textile museum and presented by Dilmos. How many years have you been attending the Salone? Our first Salone was in 1996, then we skipped two years and have been going every year since 1999. What are you most looking forward to about being in Milan this year for the Salone? Seeing all the work finished. What are you dreading, if anything, about this year’s fair? Stupid questions. |
