Stories Shelving

Emerging from the vibrant design landscape of Copenhagen, Denmark, Umage represents a masterclass in Scandinavian functionalism and sustainable luxury. Founded in 2008 by Jacob Nannestad Hansen and Søren Ravn Christensen, the brand—formerly known as Vita Copenhagen—has established itself as a global authority for those seeking "thoughtful aesthetics" that prioritize both beauty and environmental responsibility. Today, Montreal Lighting & Hardware is a primary resource for designers requiring high-impact, versatile solutions, offering an elite catalog of nature-inspired fixtures—such as the iconic Eos feather lamps and Silvia series—that serve as the organic focal point for the most prestigious residential and hospitality interiors.

What truly distinguishes Umage is its unwavering commitment to "material storytelling" and the masterful execution of flat-packed, eco-conscious design. The brand’s philosophy centers on the belief that high-end design should be accessible and minimize its global footprint, utilizing premium elements like authentic goose feathers, solid oak, and recycled textiles to create pieces that are both durable and visually provocative. By prioritizing a soft, Nordic design language that bridges the gap between urban sophistication and natural warmth, the brand ensures its products provide a professional-grade aesthetic for any curated space. This dedication to technical precision and fluid, sculptural silhouettes results in a signature look of understated Danish luxury, making their lighting and furniture an essential, high-impact element of any well-designed modern environment.
