UMAGE is a Copenhagen-based furniture and lighting brand that designs flat-packed, multifunctional pieces rooted in Scandinavian minimalism. Founded in 2008 by Jacob Nannestad Hansen and Søren Ravn Christensen under the name VITA Copenhagen, the company rebranded in 2018. Operating as an in-house design studio, UMAGE creates its own proprietary lines rather than reselling other brands. The company ships its products in compact boxes to reduce global transit emissions.

The brand is widely recognized for its signature lighting collections. These include the Eos feather lamps, the Asteria LED series, and the Silvia pendants. In its furniture catalog, UMAGE prioritizes accent seating and storage over traditional large sofas. Notable pieces include The Reader wingback armchair and A Conversation Piece lounge chair, which typically range from $1,700 to $3,200. The Audacious storage collection features distinctive sliding fabric tambour doors, with media cabinets priced around $1,500.

UMAGE is a Certified B Corporation. The company builds its furniture using FSC-certified wood and OEKO-TEX certified textiles. It also incorporates recycled polyester fabrics, like the Horizons upholstery made from plastic waste. All feather lighting products strictly adhere to the Responsible Down Standard.
