Catalogue Note

With an attention to precision and playful imagery applied to classic forms, Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel of Studio Job, created the Perished Collection.  Comprising a table, expansive winged bench, pedestal and screen, these pieces approach large-scale functional design with an underlying symbolism that characterize the work of these two progressive designers.
