1 I Job Applications Industrial Furniture Design Internship

2 The Process & The Studio. Cutwork is an architecture + design studio determined to pioneer the future of living and working spaces. We believe that innovative design can improve well being, foster thriving community environments, and overcome the challenges of accelerating urbanization. To do so, our studio has developed a patented industrial technology that allows straight metal tubes and other materials to be bent easily and effectively by hand. With this technology, we've optimized production, shipping, assembly, construction, and on-measure manufacturing processes, making our products both more environmentally sustainable and cost efficient to produce. Products include flat-pack kit furniture, modular shelters, and an innovative refugee housing solution that will be ready for market in 2018.

3 Architecture + Design Studio Based between Paris and Amsterdam, we have been identified as a Top-100 global startup by Hello Tomorrow Summit, Experts in Innovation and Design by the BPI France and are currently participants in the Climate-KIC accelerator program in Amsterdam for clean tech startups with big potential for growth. We work hard, play hard, love to travel, and absolutely believe in the holy power of a good rice bowl.

4 Quality of space fosters quality of life. Our professional field is the design of living spaces. We re determined to advance the ways space can naturally expresses its purpose, and in turn, enhance peoples ability to be purposeful within a given space. Cultivating thriving environments with this quality of design and detail is essential to us.

5 Our environments are a culmination of the details around us. It's these details that add up to our experience of a space. Leaving no detail unconsidered, we pay careful attention to quality of materials and how light expresses those qualities in a space. It s our job, as designers, to preserve these formal qualities and give them function.

6 Light and materials aren t everything. Small everyday gestures are just as essential. True wealth is not only found in quality of material but in how space is designed to be engaged. If every time we need to perform a routine action (putting a bag away, depositing keys, sitting down), and the space has been design to make that seamless, then we have achieved true luxury.
