Sander; on the defense of the Design Academy?
I guess you are right. No frustrations about the Design Academy here though, but about the fact that most other Academies and hardworking designers who are not “Dutch Design” are easily overlooked. But that really has nothing to do with Design Academy so my remarks are out of line as far as Li and Job are concerned and I stand corrected. Please understand I don’t begrudge Job his success, because success is never undeserved. His stuff is just not for me.

Whatever gives you the impression I don’t appreciate beauty? Just the fact that I don’t appreciate this? That’s a bit of a biased view. Which you are entitled to. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and my appreciation for beauty and autonomous work just isn’t stimulated by this work.

What I’ve come to realize because of your reply to my remarks is the danger of quick replies. I’ll make sure to think through what I want to say and why in the future.

Agree with the ones above, no design here. Design always can be used somehow, and I don’t mean used just to look at. But for me it’s not art either. Just changing size or material is not a strong enough idea to let it be art. And beautiful? Why? Because it’s so nicely polished? Congratulations! My mom used to tell me when I was young this is kitsch.

In Holland everyone knows Job can’t do wrong with Li Edelkoort, cruel Headmistress of the Design Academy. So he gets away with a lot. Zenza and Raymond are right; no design here, just sampling and reworking.

Beautiful… ok. I can agree with that, but we all have to admit that Studio Job doesn’t make design. They may be artists or something, but not design.
