beloved pieces of art and design

Housed in a clinically renovated warehouse from the 50s, Job Smeets’ Antwerp working and living quarters contain a uniquely eclectic art and design collection, assembled throughout his years together with Nynke Tynagel, his partner behind Studio Job the applied arts atelier known for its rich ornamentation and exquisite materials.

The loft was conceived as a bare-bones bunker, located in a neighborhood of architects, artists, and designers in the middle of central Antwerp. The loft is filled with an assortment of the designers’ beloved pieces of art and design, “curated” in a museum-like sensibility with a particular preference for mid-century furniture from the 50s, which he considers “modernism in its purest form when it was the most relevant”.
