The Maker’s Philosophy:
Bespoke Concrete Artistry

I’m Gourtan, the founder and maker at Gumi Works. Moving away from the anonymity of mass production, I lead Gumi Works as a Dedicated Design-and-Make Studio in London, providing bespoke concrete commissions UK-wide. Here, the person who designs the 3D model is the same person who hand-pours the concrete, ensuring absolute fidelity between the initial vision and the final object. My aim is to craft timeless design objects imbued with architectural character, utilizing the raw, honest power of concrete to fashion distinctive pieces for individual interiors.

A Foundation in Mechanics, Structure, and Motion

My apprenticeship began long before I touched a concrete mixer. Growing up in a citrus farming family in Cyprus, my father’s tractors were my first classroom in mechanical problem-solving. This early curiosity led me to study mechanics, followed by a career as a site engineer in the high-stakes London construction landscape.

When combined with a degree and a decade of experience in visual arts and 3D expo design, these disciplines provide Gumi Works with its unique technical foundation. This synergy allows me to push the boundaries of Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), creating challenging monolithic forms that maintain absolute structural integrity through thoughtful, engineered design.

The Concrete Ethos: Modern Heirlooms

At Gumi Works, we envision design that is captivating, thought-provoking, and permanent. While my passion extends to the sparks of welding and the scent of sawn timber, it is the versatility of artisan concrete that serves as my primary canvas. I am captivated by its ability to transition from a fluid, industrial liquid into a stone-like, sculptural furniture piece. By merging mechanics, construction expertise, and visual art, I craft bespoke concrete furniture that balances industrial strength with a refined, tactile warmth. I hope you find as much joy in our works as I find in the intricate process of sculpting them.
