MSDS ("make shit, design shit") Studio is a Toronto-based design studio founded by Jessica Nakanishi and Jonathan Sabine in 2011.[1] They focus on furniture, lighting, and interior design. Nakanishi's and Sabine's collaboration comes from Nakanishi's experience in interior design, and Sabine's background in making furniture.[2] Their style has been described as a mixture of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian simplicity.[3] Toronto Life called them one of "Toronto’s best architects and designers right now".[4]
