THE DESIGNER.
After graduating from York University’s coveted YSDN Bachelor of Design, designer Jake Oliveira narrowed his focus to specialize in industrial design. His tenure as a designer has seen him cut his teeth at three prominent Toronto-based firms before the founding of his eponymous practice. The studio now operates out of Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood.

THE STYLE.
Jake Oliveira Studio creates pieces that juxtapose architectural restraint and drama. A key fulcrum of our design identity is the contrast between material and form. A playful curiosity and love of engineering results in designs that both honour and manipulate materials, re-imagining their potential to awe-inspiring effect.
