JOB SMEETS - MILAN 2007
 

 

Design Academy Eindhoven - Job Smeets

Project name: The Family of Form


Chandeliers  

Project description Paper, cardboard and papier-mâché are familiar to all of us. They bring back memories of kinder-garden and our first experiences of making things. Later, whilst at the academy, I experimented with making products out of paper and cardboard. I created a series of cradles out of old boxes that I glued together, initially due to a lack of money and ease, but then out of fascination. Studio Job to create a collection of paper furniture for the general public. Inspired by classic icons but manufactured like modern day furniture, this collection is an ode to classical style and to the material. Monumental and light, transitory and timeless.
