The Collage Edition

‍A 240-page, large-format publication exploring how movement, memory, and creative practice shape the worlds we build.

The Collage Edition is Umber’s 240-page, large-format print experience centered on the makers, thinkers, and cultural innovators shaping creative life today. Built with Umber’s signature tactile and art-forward approach, this issue looks at how movement, memory, and everyday practice influence the ways we see, make, and understand the world.

Collage serves as both structure and metaphor — a way of showing how ideas, influences, and lived experiences converge to create new forms of expression. Since 2017, Umber has documented art, design, music, and culture through publications, digital storytelling, and live programming guided by our ethos: We Are Living Culture™.

“I want to document our culture on our terms, beyond trends and algorithms.” – Mike Nicholls, founder, Umber
