Designers Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel from Belgian design firm, Studio Job, are accustomed to raising eyebrows with their works. Their exclusive Robber Baron collection commissioned by owner Murray Moss, is fashioned from polished cast bronze and carved with intricate reliefs. It consists of five pieces – a cabinet, jewel safe, mantel clock, standing lamp, and table. Each piece expounds a tale of "the outrageous excesses of America's 19th century tycoons and Russia's new oligarchs".

The cabinet tells of a 17th century armoire by Andre-Charles Boulle, while the mantel clock was inspired by London's Big Ben and depicts the Florentine Galleria degli Uffizi.

The standing lamp, on the other hand, is an amalgamation of three iconic buildings in a single piece – the Parthenon, the Empire State Building and St. Peter's Basilica, with a Zeppelin attached at the top. It is a sight to behold when the hundreds of windows in this "building" are illuminated by bulbs behind a hand-blown frosted glass interior.

The jewel safe features a Jack-in-the-box popping out of the top. The clown's nose acts as a lock mechanism when turned.

Last but not least, the table piece derives its story from early 20th century works such as the Neo-Classical architecture of Albert Speer, and features a "polluted cloud" of polished bronze forming the openwork tabletop. This collection created a stir at the recent Design Miami show when it was bought by a private collector for a hefty figure of US$700,000.
