Toomas Toomepuu

Toomas Toomepuu utilizes digital fabrication, found objects, and unconventional materials to explore world building through furniture. Combining, remixing, and dissecting these materials creates playful tensions in the work like absurdity/functionality, scarcity/overabundance, and digital/analog. He is a recent graduate of College for Creative Studies, and recipient of the 2021 CCS Redmond Design Vision and Excellence Award.

Toomepuu was born in Rhode Island, and he currently resides in Detroit. His affinity for exploring and painting abandoned spaces, found materials, and piecing together into different structures in his youth, has evolved into the fabrication of furniture and sculpture. Maintaining interests in between spaces and materials, he continues to develop aesthetic relationships and reflect on the conceptual conversations explored in these objects.
