Biographyhttp://www.umbra.com/about/index.html
Umbra began in 1979, when boyhood friends Paul Rowan and Les Mandelbaum joined forces to create exciting, everyday products that alter the overall aesthetic of a home, beginning with a printed window shade unlike anything then in the market ("umbra" means shade in Latin).

Twenty-eight years later, Umbra's design team – 30 men and women from all over the world and outside product designers, all under Paul Rowan's direction – remains the heart and soul of the company. Its offices worldwide now house more than 650 people.
