Studio Job Cabinet

Studio Job Cabinet

Don’t let the paradigm of a standard looking cabinet fool you. The obvious and clean robustness of this cabinet is what makes it so compelling. Featuring an obnoxiously large golden lock, holding a fairy-tale key forms a stark contrast to the sheer shape, color and size. The concept was so eye-catching that it won the Wallpaper* Design Award in 2012 and the ELLE Decoration International Design Award 2013.

The Job Cabinet is multifunctional and can be used as an eye catching design piece or storage space in an office or home setting. The interior consists of six shelves, in which only four are as deep as the cabinet itself. The shelves can be fitted to personal taste or functional requirement. Additionally, there is an option to turn it into a wardrobe set (excluding hangers), with this set the six shelves are also included. Available in various different colors.

Studio Job

A place where technique, science and ornamental designs merge - embracing an art form of totality. This is an exemplary component of the designs featured in Studio Job, founded in 2000 by Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel. Their work can be found in over forty museums internationally. 

Studio Job embraces the renaissance spirit, combining both traditional and modern techniques, producing so called: “once-in-a-life-time-objects”. Acclaimed by a love of detail and freedom of expression they are seen as prime movers in contemporary applied art. Experimental, highly specific and still entirely universal, the body of work expresses pure craftsmanship focusing on quality instead of quantity for the masses. Thus extreme designs take precedence. As Job Smeets proclaims “We want to build up an oeuvre, not merely score a few hits.”

The Job Office series was designed for the Lensvelt collection. Staying close to their surrealistic and contemporary style of design, the collection is depicted through stark and brightly colored pieces of furniture, accompanied by a lamp. The collection is accommodated with striking gold details enhancing the iconic cartoon-like manners of their unique design craft.
