About Studio Job

A quote from the Bavaria Collection catalog written by Jane Withers : 

"Graduates of the renowned Design Academy Eindhoven, the Netherlands, Job Smeets (b.1970, Belgium) and Nynke Tynagel (b. 1977, the Netherlands), who both live as well as work together, form Studio Job. Having met in 1996 in Eindhoven - she beginning her studies in graphic design and he having just graduated in three-dimensional design – Mr. Smeets proceeded to open Studio Job in 1998 in Antwerp, joined by Ms. Tynagel in 2000, following her graduation. Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel are Studio Job. The dutch couple started working together after graduating from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2000. In the beginning they were often criticised for their expressionistic symbolism, nowadays the designers are in great demand for the same reason. We met them in Milan where they presented the Farm collection, which plays homage to their Dutch homeland including stable tools found in farms such as milk pitchers, pails, spades, forks, cooking pots and frying pans cast in bronze; and their giant Globe for Swarovski's Crystal Palace."

Jay Stanger's Multidimensional Marquetry Sculptures

Jay Stanger uses marquetry to bring multidimensionality to his functional sculptures



Stanger's Use Of Marquetry

Stanger uses marquetry to bring a painterly quality to his colorful wooden sculptures, which sell for $15,000 to $100,000. 
"It is a way to incorporate drawing skills into my work," he says. "It gives a three-dimensional quality to a two-dimensional surface. It turns the piece into a multi-media object."
