Form - a nomad design studio

#SlowDesign #SlowCraft #ModernCraft #CraftRevolution

A design studio in perpetual motion.
We do slow design in close collaboration with our craftswo/men, putting the production process at the heart of the design.
We believe in a craft revolution & that cross inspiration between different cultures creates great design.
