Studio Job
Art and design studio Studio Job was founded by Job Smeets in 1998 in the renaissance spirit, combining traditional and modern techniques to produce once-in-a-lifetime objects. Joined in 2000 by graphic designer Nynke Tynagel the duo went on to work with a vast range of high profile clients and collectors.In the ateliers, traditional and modern techniques are combined to produce once-in-a-lifetime objects. A vast range of crafts are practiced at Studio Job, where traditional craftsmen such as sculptors and specialists in casting bronze and making stained-glass windows work alongside experts adept in using lasers and 3D printing. Based in both Belgium and the Netherlands, Job Smeets leads as art director with Nynke Tynagel as graphic designer. Technique, science and ornamental designs come together in their work as examples of what can be described as Gesamtkunstwerk – a total art work or an all embracing art form.
