From the concept to the finished series product, Formfjord work hand in hand with their customers to develop products that work - on as many levels as possible. Because product development means considering and combining many aspects of a product or a product ecosystem.

Formfjord have built up a large network in the immediate vicinity of their location, which can expand our services in a wide variety of directions. (Metal, wood and plastics processors, electronics and software developers, architects, CI agencies, 3D printers...). This allows them to act very flexibly and tailor their scope of services individually depending on the project.

With a focus on elaborate concepts, straight lines and a smartness in detail the team of designers and engineers develop products that function – technologically and ecologically, ergonomically and emotionally, strategically and economically. Recent clients include Carl Mertens, Leonardo, Lightyears, Magazin, Mono, Nemo/Cassina, Offecct, Serien Lighting, Stelton, Ubitricity.
