Umbela

The word Umbela is a feminine name that in botany refers to a type of open inflorescence in which the stems grow from the same point and rise to the same height, forming a fan shape. Inspired by this organic and feminine form, and with a shared interest in weaving more transformative paths toward sustainability in the territories we inhabit, the Umbela project was born.
