Tom Chung

Tom Chung, born in Vancouver in 1990, is a Chinese-Canadian industrial designer who founded his eponymous studio in 2016. He spent his first professional years at Umbra, learning how industrial processes and briefs shape objects at scale, then opened an independent practice in Toronto before relocating to Amsterdam, where the studio now works from Rombout Hogerbeetsstraat.

His production moves between furniture and lighting for Audo, EQ3, Muuto, Petite Friture, RBW and Mjolk, with pieces such as the Piton and Beam lamps, the Fromme armchair and the Vellum table, and self-initiated research including the Laser Cut Stool of 2015 and fused-glass experiments. He runs workshops at ECAL and UQAM and has lectured at RISD, Parsons, ECUAD and TU Wien.
