Tom Chung is an independent industrial designer who established his eponymous studio in 2016. Based in Toronto, the studio maintains a focus on industrial objects and interior spaces. Forming a unique design process that combines contemporary culture and local industry, the studio creates context driven industrial design pieces for domestic, institutional, and public environments.“My interest in design is driven by the human experience of space. My process sources from contemporary culture to create a context-driven industrial design with a rooted interest in performance. I apply principles of mobility, lightness and durability with a focus on improving the objects that shape our built environment.”
“I find that new Scandinavian design is interested in global perspectives, founded in a long history of rational and ecological thinking. It embraces the connected world that we live in while using these underlying values to improve infrastructures of contemporary production and distribution.”
