MSDS Studio

MSDS Studio is a Toronto-based practice working across interiors, furniture and lighting. Its stated method is to synthesise considerations of material, form, space and brief into resolved work, engaging contemporary culture while adhering to the abiding principles of good design and to an inheritance of craftsmanship.

That multidisciplinarity is presented as the source of the studio’s resourcefulness: prototyping and small-batch production have built an ability to collaborate with builders and fabricators and to exploit manufacturing technologies for viable new forms, and the studio stays closely involved at every stage so that a project is executed as intended. Work ranges from hospitality and retail interiors, among them Early Bird’s café in Toronto’s PATH and Aesop, to collections developed with manufacturers such as +Halle and Muuto.
