Studio Job: Wood

Studio Job designed a new parquet collection, arranging geometric shapes into patterns, composing elements into illustration and turning flat into 3-D trompe-l’oeil illusions.

Bisazza London presented the new Wood collection by Studio Job. With their unmistakable stylistic sense and usual wry humour, the Dutch designer duo put their personal stamp on the classic parquet.

Six the new patterns included in the new series characterized by 3D geometries and trompe l’oeil: Cannage, Plissage, Bloc, Zig Zag and Escalier, pair natural tones with brilliant colours and combine them with different-shaped elements in wood; in the Gingham décor, small, laser-engraved animal skeletons – typical figures in Studio Job’s iconographic language – stand out against a coloured checkerboard, reminiscent of the classic English pattern of squares.

“Knock on Wood! A new material, the same principle; arrange geometric shapes into pattern, compose elements into illustration, turning flat into 3-D, trompe-l’oeil illusions. Twist natural colour into artificial, engraved with the unexpected, a contemporary approach of wooden flooring.” said Nynke Tynagel of Studio Job.
