About Us
With an emphasis on modern design, FORM fills a unique niche featuring emerging talents and precedent- setting work in the areas of architecture, interior, landscape, furniture, product design, materials, and technology. FORM’s aim is to showcase high-concept projects that provoke and inspire. Technology coverage highlights how the manufacturing and design disciplines are bridged, for example, by electronic media, molding, milling and weaving. Readable, intelligent and visually stunning, the magazine presents design with exuberance as well as substance.
