Umut Yamac

Umut Yamac, born in 1980, is a British architect and designer who explores the middle ground between architecture and light. He graduated from the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, in 2009 and set up his studio in 2011 to create objects and installations that respond to user and space through playful interaction and movement. He also teaches at the Bartlett and Central Saint Martins.

For Moooi he designed the Perch Light, a bird of folded paper and brass swinging on its branch, and for Moooi Carpets the Crush rug, a landscape of folded and twisted paper.
