\u201cIt\u2019s important to [Studio Job] that almost every object they make fits some \u2018normal\u2019 design category: a spaghetti pot, a vacuum cleaner, a table. But their pots have been cast in massive bronze and then polished to a golden mirror finish; putting them on a stove is unthinkable, even if you could handle the weight. Their $50,000 vacuum cleaner, on display at the [MAD], looks much more normal except for the bronze horse\u2019s head on top. Its eyes glow electric-red, and the vacuum\u2019s exhaust has been channeled through its nostrils, so they snort.\u201d \u2014@NYTimes on Studio Job #StudioJobMADHOUSE<\/a><\/p>\n
