NOBURU STUDIO / David Umemoto
Located in Montreal, I founded this creative studio in the early 2000s.
Trained as an architect, I specialize in the creation of spaces and art objects.
Handmade Objects
With over 10 years of experience, I have developed expertise in creating complex sculptural concrete works.
My pieces have been exhibited in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the UK.
Digital fabrication
I also have experience in digital fabrication using various materials such as acrylic, wood, and metal.
My specialization lies in creating works integrated into architecture, including wall art, relief tiles, furniture, vases, and lamps.
Custom Projects
Whether it’s for a design project or a custom object, don’t hesitate to contact me.
If you have your own design, I can also assist with its production.
You can send me an email to david@no-bu-ru.com
Or give me a call at (1) 438-837-4068
