Studio Job was founded in 2000 by soulmates Nynke Tynagel and Job Smeets, both graduates of the Design Academy Eindhoven. They redefine the applied arts for the contemporary age. From the outset, their collaboration has created highly expressive, sometimes one-off or limited edition works.

Often cast in bronze or, later, crafted from laser-cut marquetry, the physical potential and malleability of the materials they use is pushed to the hilt. Their approach is more in keeping with that of traditional guilds than anything industrial. For Studio Job, creation is pre-eminent over definition. Smeets describes it thus: "Unlike most, we are probably not coming from Modernism. Studio Job’s contribution is that we have rediscovered a lost path. Consciously and carefully, we are positioning decorative arts in the twenty-first century. Is that design? Whatever. Is that art? Whatever, really."

Opulent, intricate and ironic, Studio Job combine an extraordinarily high level of craftsmanship with extreme ornamentation. They reference both the traditional and the topical, the organic and the artificial. This narrative conveys a tension between the good and the bad exploring all facets of each. Their iconography is at once heraldic and cartoon-like, monumental and yet somehow primitive. Due to this combination of elements, Studio Job’s style has become synonymous with the term 'Neo-Gothic'. This style is placed within an enigmatic, intellectual framework by the number and complexity of symbols and signifiers it conveys.

In 2009 Nynke and Job opened Studio Job Gallery, a curatorial exhibition space for contemporary art and design based in Antwerp. In 2010 an important monograph titled "The Book of Job" was released by the New York publishing house Rizzoli and the "Studio Job Lounge" was opened inside the prestigious Groninger Museum. In 2011, Nynke and Job turned a post war villa into the "Studio Job House" filled with modernistic icons and contemporary pieces. The Groninger recently dedicated a massive retrospective accompanied by a new book to celebrate the large body of work of these now world famous creators.

Studio Job works are included in the permanent collections of more than 40 museums worldwide.

Nodus' parent company, Il Picolo, is one of the major Italian players in the design and refurbishment of interiors.

Il Piccolo was born as a family business with tapestry at the core. The craftsmanship has always been of the highest quality with extreme attention to detail; this continued care has gone hand in hand with the company's growth. A company with its origins firmly rooted within the traditions of local craftsmen from Brianza, but never afraid to explore new ideas and passions. Their home and main showroom is in the heart of Brera, always in contact with the changing world of design, fashion and art.

Never afraid to surprise or even shock by keeping the focus on innovation rather than imitation and by collaborating with talented and often avant-garde artists who have developed their own creative vocabulary the Nodus collection is unique, instantly recognizable and highly prestigious.

Each rug is custom-made to order, handwoven, knot by knot by some of the best ethical producers in the world (guaranteed by GoodWeave International, formerly known as Rugmark), handpicked based on materials used, techniques mastered and above all the expertise of their craftsmen.
