Studio Job - Love Boat

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.

Dada-esque

“This Dada-esque cruise ship is packed with too many ideas to explain. It evokes a sense of socio-cultural utopia, a harmonious world devoid of conflict” - Job Smeets
