UMAGE is a Danish word meaning making an effort, and that is what they strive to do every day. Founded in 2008 by CEO Jacob Nannestad Hansen and Chief Creative Developer Søren Ravn Christensen, UMAGE is a B Corp-certified company where Danish design meets affordability, high-quality materials and a genuine care for the environment.

At UMAGE, they combine aesthetics, simplicity and functionality with thoughtful craftsmanship and environmental care. The result is furniture and lighting designs with a sustainable edge. The collections are flat-packed to optimise global logistics, making them more accessible while reducing carbon emissions.

In a world where every corner of everyday life demands adaptability and flexibility, UMAGE is committed to crafting versatile, multifunctional designs that cater to ever-evolving trends and needs. Their products are thoughtfully crafted to be adaptable to different spaces and lifestyles, with details that enrich both the practical and aesthetic experience. Designed for both private homes and public spaces, UMAGE collections fit seamlessly into everything from small apartments to large-scale projects.

This design philosophy minimises the need for numerous items to achieve a complete and stylish home, fostering more efficient use of space while promoting sustainability. UMAGE designs are made to evolve with you: replaceable parts, recyclable components, and customisable options extend the life of each product. Sustainability is central, with careful choices in materials, packaging, and production, and for every design sold, a tree is planted, reinforcing UMAGE’s commitment to a responsible future.

By focusing on adaptability, elegance, and multifunctionality, UMAGE ensures each piece blends form and function seamlessly, empowering users to create dynamic, personalised environments that support their everyday lives.

At UMAGE, making an effort extends beyond design. Reflected in initiatives like the 30-hour, four-day work week, which gives employees space to recharge, fostering creativity, efficiency, and well-being, making an effort is a commitment to people, nature, and to creating lasting designs that enrich everyday life.
