Umbra is also a
hip Canadian-
based housewares
manufacturer/
design firm. Their
products have the
quality of
patio furniture, only they are made of
groovy juicy frosted and
colourful
polyethylene.
The price of these
items is
inexplicable until you
see the
individuals who designed them.
Some Umbra products include the
Garbo, a shapely
waste receptacle, the
Plato, a
dishrack, and the
Oh! chair. All show the
characteristic cloudy plastic and
low production costs (which are by no means
transferred to the
consumer).
