The Toronto-based company Umbra was the product of Les Mandelbaum and Paul Rowan's shared passion for design and product development. When they founded Umbra in 1979, they identified a need for modern design products that would be affordable and fit into every home.

Driven by innovation and design, Umbra has become a world-leading company in product design and you can find Umbra's products in over 120 countries around the world. Today, Umbra has a large team of international designers who bring a lease of life and a functional twist to everyday objects.
