Most of us have some piece of Umbra in our lives: an Oh chair, a curtain rod or a picture frame.
Well-designed and affordable, the Canadian decor brand recently celebrated its 35th birthday with a revamping of its downtown Toronto store (and a chic soiree, of course). More than just a space to shop, the John Street space now serves as a design hub complete with meeting space, a multimedia studio and a collection of iconic Umbra products spanning three-and-a-half decades, including the Garbino can (a staple in our very own office).
And to think it all started with a window shade. —Karen Kwan
