Jordan Tomnuk, Edmonton Founder and principal designer of Tomnuk

This maker is on a mission to incorporate innovation into the craft of designing furniture. “My values are rooted in material honesty, minimizing waste and overproduction, and manufacturing as much as possible in the studio,” says Jordan, who also sources his wood from local suppliers. His new Tablet series comprises four minimalist light fixtures, each with a matte or opal glass globe placed over a wood backing in a selection of finishes. These sleek pieces are a perfect marriage of form and function.
