De Vorm

De Vorm develops innovative products by the standards of today. This means that they produce efficiently, use the full lifecycle of products and eventually give them a new life. Their emphasis lies on making a product that works, by setting a variety of conditions; it should be legible, accessible, but also environmental friendly and aesthetically perfectly in balance.

A good product makes life easier – it should be developed for helping us function better throughout the day. De Vorm firmly believe that the beauty of a design lies in the sum of functions that makes it a complete product. From the very first sketches De Vorm’s designers Ivan Kasner, Johan van Hengel and Uli Budde, start combining and developing new techniques to find new possibilities to innovate. Their design process is infused with technical development; techniques result in aesthetic features and the other way round.

Customers have the ability to customise the colouring or finishing of selected products. The shell of their signature chairs are made from a felt material manufactured from PET bottles. It is a soft, though strong material that is durable and has a great acoustic performance. PET Felt is both recycled as well as recyclable itself. The design of the Nook lounge for example, allows a number of production steps to be reduced to one smart 3D pressing technique. De Vorm strives to continuously raise the bar.
