About the studio | スタジオについて
CUT by Yumi Endo is a New York City based design studio which intersects design + technology.
Our products feature unique geometric forms/graphics inspired by architectural details and urban patterns found in New York City and other cities Yumi has previously lived / visited.
Our designs are manufactured using both traditional and emerging fabrication methods. We are always keen to develop new production techniques to push our products forward.
ニューヨークをベースに活動するデザインスタジオです。
ニューヨーク他、世界各地の街で普段何気なく目にしている建築や街並を抽象的にグラフィック化し商品のデザインに活かしています。
またCNC, 3Dプリンター等、新しいテクノロジーをプロトタイプや製造工程に用い、新たな商品開発への足がかりにしています。

About Yumi | プロフィール
Yumi Endo is a Japanese, New York-based designer with a passion for art, design and technology. She was born in Niigata, Japan, to a father who was a telecommunication engineer, and a mother who was a kindergarten principle.
She often wishes she could have met her great grandfather, who was a skillful woodworker/product designer.
Her interest in gadgets, technology and new media grew as a child as her father brought home early word processors and personal computers manufactured by his company.
She currently works full-time at frog design in NYC, where she focuses on creating meaningful digital experiences for many internationally acclaimed clients. > Visit her portfolio
After graduating from Parsons the New School for Design in 2009, Yumi needed an escape from spending too much time on computer - to design something more tangible. She launched a small jewelry collection which quickly found its way to be featured in designboom mart and on runways.
Yumi holds a Master of Fine Arts in Design + Technology from Parsons the New School for Design. Prior to coming to NYC, she has earned a Bachelor of Design with honors in Product/Interior/Graphic Design from University of New South Wales, Australia.
