Introducing Behind the Design. This week, we’re taking you inside the creation of the Wavy Jewelry Organizer with Umbra’s VP of Design, Matt Carr. More than just storage, Wavy is a reflection of our design DNA—its sculptural curves echo some of our most iconic pieces, like the Garbino Can and Postino Mailbox. A balance of form and function, designed to feel effortless. Watch now. Check out Wavy: https://lnkd.in/eQuNd97u #BehindTheDesign #UmbraDesign #WavyJewelryOrganizer
About us
Umbra is a Toronto-based homeware company born over 30 years ago when graphic designer, Paul Rowan, couldn’t find a nice window shade to hang in his apartment window. So, he made one. And others liked it. He soon teamed up with childhood friend, Les Mandelbaum, and Umbra (in Latin, “shade”) was born. Today, Umbra is recognized all over the world for bringing thought and creativity to everyday items. An international team of in-house designers and global network make its original designs available in over 118 countries. A full collection can be seen in its Toronto flagship store.
