About Us
A residential spatial practice grounded in real development.
Working With
Space as a Whole
Forma does not begin with products.
Our work starts from spatial logic —
how a home is planned, built, used, and sustained.
Every environment we present is intentional
and grounded in real-world application.
What is shown in our spaces is never symbolic.
Materials, systems, and objects are selected
because they can be specified, installed,
and lived with in real homes.
Elements shaped into coherent,
buildable spaces.
Cabinetry as the Spatial Backbone
We see kitchens and cabinetry as the backbone of residential space.
They define proportion, circulation, and daily rhythm. They influence how a home functions, ages, and holds value over time.
For this reason, Forma works primarily with a small number of Italian cabinetry brands whose systems align with our approach to longevity, material integrity, and spatial clarity.
Cabinetry is where our work begins — not as a category, but as a spatial framework.
Within the Space...
Materials That Complete the System
Include the project's time frame and scope, as well as its goals and outcome. Add details about why this project was created and what makes it significant. Explain how the business handled challenges and overcame obstacles to make this undertaking a success. Consider adding images or videos to showcase the project and engage viewers.
These materials are selected to work quietly together as a system,
supporting the architecture rather than competing for attention.
Rooted in architecture and real estate development, and realized over time.
Furniture at Forma functions as a flexible layer within a stable spatial foundation. Rather than a fixed catalog, our furniture selection is curated as a buying editthat evolves over time.
This approach allows spaces to remain adaptable and personal, while preserving the integrity of the overall environment.
Furniture as a Flexible Layer
Physical Spaces and Lived Projects
Our Los Altos physical space is conceived as a fully realizable environment — a showroom where every visible element can be specified, purchased, and installed.
Alongside this, Forma develops residential remodel projects that function as lived-in demonstrations. These homes are designed, built, inhabited, and eventually offered to the market. They allow our philosophy to be tested under real conditions of use, cost, and time.
Our Founder
FORMA is shaped by a background in residential development and renovation.
The practice is informed by hands-on experience in building and inhabiting homes, combined with extensive involvement in international trade, bringing a measured, global perspective to the selection of systems and materials.
Grounded in real-world feasibility, this approach ensures that every environment presented by Forma
can be meaningfully realized within residential space.
