Based in Toronto, Canada, designers Tomas Chung and Jordan Murphy value functional, honest design and new solutions focused on the human experience. The duo is deeply interested in the history of objects and how established design rules and concepts can be transformed to meet contemporary needs. Tomas Chung, a designer born in Vancouver, founded his own studio in 2016. His work is focused on material objects and interior spaces, with particular attention to the relationship with humans. The studio creates context-based, industrial design-inspired objects for homes, such as the "Cast Sconce" for institutional and public spaces. The designer's creative process is grounded in contemporary culture and local industry. Jordan Murphy, a furniture and product designer, specializes in applying technical insights and curiosity to create simple yet well-thought-out objects. In designing useful, aesthetically valuable creations, Murphy continually reconsiders the methods used to produce products, aiming to strengthen the relationship between the object and the user.
