OBJ STUDIO at Shop AGO
Contemporary Design at the Art Gallery of Ontario
Located within the Art Gallery of Ontario, Shop AGO is a destination for thoughtfully curated design, books, and objects that extend the experience of the museum into everyday life.
Among its selection is OBJ STUDIO, a Toronto-based design studio creating modern home objects using 3D printing and plant-based materials.
Where Art Meets Everyday Objects
At Shop AGO, objects are chosen not only for function, but for their relationship to art, design, and cultural relevance.
OBJ STUDIO’s work aligns with this approach—offering pieces that are:
- Sculptural in form
- Quiet in presence
- Intentional in use
Each object reflects a balance between digital design and physical space, bridging the gap between gallery context and daily living.
Designed and Made in Toronto
OBJ STUDIO produces each piece locally in Toronto using plant-based PLA, a material derived from renewable resources such as corn and sugarcane.
This method allows for:
- Low-waste production
- Small batch manufacturing
- Responsible material use
By keeping production local, the studio maintains control over quality while reducing environmental impact—an approach that resonates with the evolving values seen at institutions like the Art Gallery of Ontario.
A Natural Fit for Shop AGO
Shop AGO presents objects that reflect contemporary thinking in art and design. OBJ STUDIO contributes to this dialogue through:
- Architectural silhouettes
- Clean, restrained geometry
- A focus on material honesty
From vases to trays and lighting, each piece is designed to sit naturally within both gallery-inspired interiors and everyday spaces.
Bringing the Gallery Home
Objects found at Shop AGO allow visitors to extend their connection with the Art Gallery of Ontario beyond the exhibition space.
OBJ STUDIO’s collection offers:
- Functional design with sculptural presence
- Pieces suited for calm, intentional interiors
