Celebrating Canadian craftsmanship is at the heart of what we do. Our projects are enriched by the unique stories and skillsets of makers who design with purpose and precision. One such studio is Tomnuk, an Edmonton-based industrial design studio creating lighting and furniture with a strong sculptural presence and an understated elegance that works beautifully in a wide range of interiors.

The Vision Behind Tomnuk
Founded by Jordan Tomnuk, the studio is grounded in a thoughtful design process that merges industrial design with a hands-on approach to fabrication. Each piece is crafted in-house, allowing for full creative control and a true reflection of the designer’s vision. The result is a collection of lighting and furniture that is architectural yet inviting, bold yet refined.
Whether it’s the raw simplicity of materials or the soft diffusion of light through a frosted globe, Tomnuk’s work effortlessly plays with material and form. Their pieces bring depth and texture into a space, often becoming the focal point of a room.

A Design Language All Their Own
What sets Tomnuk apart is their commitment to creating a distinct design language that feels modern but doesn’t chase trends. Their collections embrace the honesty of materials and the integrity of construction, which lends a sense of permanence to every piece. There’s a clarity to their work that resonates deeply: the clean lines, sculptural shapes, and thoughtful proportions feel grounded yet forward-thinking.
This design language translates beautifully into both residential and commercial spaces. Whether it’s a statement pendant light above a dining table or a minimalist wall sconce in a hallway, each piece invites curiosity and conversation. It’s a design that doesn’t just fill a space but enhances it.

Collaborating with Of Light
When sourcing Tomnuk pieces, we’re proud to work with Of Light, a Canadian lighting agency that represents a carefully curated selection of independent designers and studios. Their team is a trusted partner in helping us integrate Tomnuk’s collections seamlessly into our projects, whether it's through customizing finishes or navigating lead times.
Of Light shares our appreciation for well-crafted design and works closely with us to ensure each fixture is the perfect fit, both functionally and aesthetically. This collaboration helps bring even more value to the design process, making it easier to provide truly unique lighting solutions to our clients' homes.
Designing with Intention
Tomnuk’s work lends itself beautifully to interiors that prioritize intention and individuality. Whether featured in a minimal modern kitchen or a cozy reading nook, their lighting and furniture pieces add a sculptural element that elevates the everyday. And knowing that these pieces are not only locally made but also thoughtfully designed makes them all the more special.
