Umbra | Favorite Things | Michelle Ivankovic



CRU wine rack. It's so naturally functional, clean and fun all at the same time. PHOTOFOREST Frame. I like this casual way of displaying photos. It appears as if the photographs are bits of paper that got blown around in the wind and caught in the trees. BENTA plates. It's hard to reinvent a plate so that you are adding function rather than just adding superflous decoration. In this case the folded edge provide a comfy nook for your thumb while you stand around and load up on party snacks. I love the clever way that nothing is added to the most standard plate yet everything changes with a simple bend.			> Favorite Things David Quan Michelle Ivankovic Matt Carr Paul Rowan Les Mandelbaum > Design Stories > Happenings Shop Michelle's favorites: > CRU wine rack > PHOTOFOREST frame Umbra Senior Product Designer and Creative Lead Michelle Ivankovic was born and raised in Toronto and currently works in Umbra's Holland office.
