Job Smeets

Job Smeets is a Belgian designer and artist, born in Hamont-Achel in 1969 and trained at the Design Academy Eindhoven, where he graduated cum laude. He founded Studio Job in 1998 as a practice that treats design, sculpture and applied art as one continuous field.

The studio sets traditional crafts — bronze casting, stained glass, cabinetry — beside lasers and 3D printing, an approach that produced the bronze Train Crash table that closed his partnership with Nynke Tynagel, the Swarovski Wunderkammer cabinet in Innsbruck and a glass sculpture on four bronze turtles for a Dordrecht church in 2022. In 2026 Smeets showed site-specific work for Mouromtsev Design Editions at Salone Raritas in Milan, and he now directs the studio between the Netherlands and Milan.
