Studio Job: The Book of Job
"This book is both an extraordinary retrospective of their designs and an amazing design product in its own right. Smeets and Tynagel have the gifts of Renaissance artisans and the aesthetic of 21st-century visionaries." ~New York Magazine"The Book of Job(Rizzoli, $150) is quite a sight to absorb. And the book is a lavish creation in itself, sure to seduce any design buff, what with its gilded page edges, black-letter type, letterpress details, cloth markers, and sepcial gatefold tableaux." ~Florida International Magazine"...the ultimate book for the design guru of your holiday shopping list ... This 348-page biblically inspired book -- really, it looks like a leather-bound Bible with gilded pages -- arrives inside a slip-case covered with prints of insects. Inside you jump into a world where fashion, design, art, architecture and pop collide into a wondrous effort." ~Austin American“This is not any ordinary 300-page biblical-themed monograph with gilded-edge paper, a half-dozen gatefolds, and a leather-scented cover imprinted with quasi-medieval cartoonage. It’sThe Book of Job, the holiday season’s most coveted design book, by two of the world’s most cultish designers…” ~New York Magazine"The book is lavish just like their marquetry." ~artnet
