A HISTORIC TOWNHOUSE IN THE HEART OF YEREVAN
TUMO Studios is located in a historic townhouse in the heart of Yerevan. Every piece in the collection begins its story in our loft space built at the turn of the 20th century.
Designed by Architect Vasili Mirzoyan, the building is as much of an inspiration as it is our home.
