Studio Job - Rosewood Amsterdam

Studio Job was founded in 1998 by Job Smeets in the renaissance spirit, combining traditional and modern techniques to produce once-in-a-lifetime objects. At once highly specific and yet entirely universal, personally expressive and yet experimental, Studio Job has crafted a body of work that draws upon classical, popular and contemporary design and highly visual and sculptural art.

In the internal garden of the newly opened Rosewood Amsterdam sits two iconic bronze works from Studio Job, the serene setting could be dubbed the Job garden, a place where visitors can sit on the ‘Worn’ bronze sofa sclpture whilst the ironicly named ‘Fountain II’ drips slowly in the background.

Rosewood Amsterdam reimagines a historic landmark with a contemporary perspective rooted in local culture, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. Tasked with creating an authentic and immersive experience that reflects Rosewood’s A Sense of Place® philosophy, renowned Dutch studio Studio Piet Boon, embraced the building’s layered past as the former Palace of Justice, translating it into a serene, refined, and emotionally resonant journey.

Through thoughtful integration of monumental architecture, contemporary detailing, and residential intimacy, the hotel becomes a modern-day “mansion” along the canal, an expression of Amsterdam’s creative spirit, global curiosity, and quiet grandeur. The elegant design is complemented with bespoke art curation, consisting of over 1,000 artworks carefully selected and placed. With each space uniquely composed and connected through a shared design language, Rosewood Amsterdam invites guests into a world that is both distinctly local and beautifully international.

Rosewood is open to the public and art tours are available to book via their website.
