Founded in 1998 by Job Smeets in the spirit of the Renaissance, the design studio Studio Job combines traditional and modern techniques and processes to produce unique design objects. Since 1966, Gufram has been a beacon of creativity for experimental designers who want to push the boundaries of traditional furniture. The most famous is certainly the coat rack in the shape of a green cactus. For SuperGufram, Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel designed a series of limited edition pieces, including a punching bag in an orange brick pattern, Punch a Wall. The hanging brick column was unmistakably designed by Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel of Studiojob. It is one of a series of six radically ironic sculptures somewhere between design, comics and art. Punch a Wall provokes, so that one strikes. The limited edition of only seven pieces worldwide was presented at Design Miami Basel in 2017.

The punching bag Punch My Wall, a not-to-be-missed piece in a home fitness centre, is the highest representation of the combination between reality and fiction, heavy and light, between dense and soft in the shape of a fake bricks column to punch in the morning.

Studio Job’s relation with Gufram dates back to 2013 when the Globe cabinet made its way into Gufram’s collection. For Design Miami/ Basel 2017 Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagelconceived a series of limited edition pieces including a punching bag in an orange brick pattern, a cooking pot coffee table complete with its own steam, a wall divider made of four different elements referring to the unlikely bark of a specific tree, and a shiny globe stand.
