Job van den Berg (1990) graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2015 is a Dutch furniture/product designer with a desire to push the boundaries of materials and techniques.
He is fascinated by materials and the making proces. His work stems from the opportunities the manufacturing industry has to offer – ranging from traditional craftsmanship to advanced automated processes. Its starting point is a material and / or technique. Followed by analyzes and experiments in collaboration with manufacturers and specialists. This quest for innovation leads to unexpected discoveries which shifts boundaries within the industry.
As an industrial designer, the focus is not only on industrial products. Some findings are unable to produce on a bigger scale. These findings are translated into “statement products”. These are unique pieces, prototypes or small series. These “statement products” also serve as an example or as starting point for Jobs industrial products.
