TYYZ and it's lighting divison Lumolar were founded in 2005 and are based in Toronto. We are a young international multidiciplinary firm that designs buildings, furniture and industrial products. The firm is a partnership of Catherine Hsueh Mei Lin and Mark Tholen. We have a strong philosophy in designing and making products in traditional ways with innovative and environmentally conscious materials to create products that are well built and of simple timeless design. We believe in products at any scale that have an esthetic appeal to be appreciated by generations to come and not to be discarded after a single use. Lumolar's LED Soft Shell Light series "little dipper"/"baby fish tide" were unveiled in the spring of 2008 as part of the International Furniture Fair - Passagen 2008 in Cologne, Germany and continue to receive awards and publications.
