Umbra

A digital experience studio in Lisbon

Interfaces thatbehave likelight.

Umbra builds immersive websites, product launches, and installations for people who want the work itself to be the proof. This page is running the same engine we ship.

How the work gets made

Three moves, in order. The field behind you shifts a little with each one.

01

Signal

Every project starts as one behaviour — a single hover, load, or transition — that we get obsessively right before anything else is allowed to exist.

02

Field

Then we build the system around it. A particle field, a physics model, a shader — whatever it takes to make the whole thing move as one piece.

03

Light

By launch it should feel inevitable. You stop noticing the engineering. You just don't want to close the tab.

Six things we made move

Hover to bring one forward. The label follows your cursor.
