Uma Objects

Uma presents a collection of its newest productions selected for Alcova in Miami. Back on the scene is the T4 collection, designed by Holloway Li and presented in two classic colourways for Selena Gold Dust Motel: Liquorice Black and Blush Pink. A reflection of London-based Holloway Li’s cinematic approach to design, the modular T4 collection draws on the nostalgic Big Brother house aesthetic at the turn of the millennium and the golden era of the chat show sofa. Joining the event is the newly launched Silo, a composite chair designed by Benni Allan for Uma. A play on weight and space, the design stays true to Allan’s interest in making objects to be engaged with, combining pure forms into an elegant piece with a sculptural presence. The Silo maintains a heavy appearance, whilst being composed entirely of lightweight fibreglass and revealed in its original finish, specially developed with the designer. Multicoloured trimmings from the production process are folded into the gelcoat to produce a finely textured, upcycled, highly durable finish.

Uma is a producer of moulded objects, working collaboratively with designers to develop pieces made to last. Uma is powered by Polkima, a leading manufacturer for moulded composite parts for some of the giants of the automotive industry, including the interior fit-outs of the iconic London buses. As a new furniture label, Uma pushes the boundaries of furniture fabrication and backed by over 30 years of production experience, provides an extraordinary testing ground for designers where their ideas can be realised from start to finish.
