Oer Forma Stoel
Forma is in stoel foarme fan plantaardich looide leer, MDF en stiel. De foarm ynterpretearret it silhûet fan in hynstesadel opnij. It leer wurdt foarme troch wetfoarmjen, ien fan de âldste learbewurkingstechniken, dy't strukturearre en duorsume foarmen skept. Wetfoarmjen makket floeiende oergongen tusken sêfte en stive dielen mooglik, wêrtroch de stoel sawol komfort as stipe biedt. Forma is 560 mm breed, 605 mm djip en 670 mm heech. It ûntwerp past in tradisjoneel sadelmakkersambacht ta op hjoeddeistich meubelûntwerp.

- Produksjetechnology
- Since early civilization, leather has been valued for its versatility, offering both comfort and protection. Wet molding, one of the oldest leatherworking techniques, remains a vital method for shaping leather into structured, durable forms. Forma employs this technique to fuse soft and rigid elements with fluidity, achieving structural refinement. By leveraging this process, the design not only preserves traditional craftsmanship but also explores new possibilities in material adaptation and contemporary fabrication techniques.
- Untwerpútdaging
- Wet molding is a centuries-old technique, yet its potential within contemporary design remains largely underexplored. This project challenges conventional applications by experimenting with new shaping methods, testing leather’s adaptability, and refining its structural possibilities. Through material-driven research, it seeks to expand the boundaries of craftsmanship, integrating traditional leatherworking techniques with adaptive design solutions.
- Undersyk
- This project investigates the potential of wet molding through hands-on experimentation, analyzing the material’s flexibility and structural limitations. By studying how leather responds to manipulation, the research informs the development of innovative forms and explores new possibilities in furniture applications. Pushing the boundaries of this traditional craft, the study bridges material experimentation with material-driven design, redefining leather’s role in modern fabrication.
- Ynspiraasje
- Forma is rooted in a deep appreciation for the transformation of raw materials through time-honored craftsmanship. Inspired by the evolution of saddlery, the project reinterprets traditional processes for new creative applications by examining how wet molding—a technique integral to equestrian gear—can be adapted for contemporary design. The interplay of structure and fluidity found in saddlery serves as the foundation for a piece that honors heritage craftsmanship while embracing design refinement.
- Projektdoer
- The project started in January 2023 in Providence, Rhode Island, and was completed in May 2023.
- Operaasjestreamferrin
- Designed to offer both function and sculptural presence, Forma’s structured yet fluid form allows it to serve as a seat while also acting as a statement piece. The careful balance of soft and rigid elements provides both comfort and support, making it a versatile addition to various interior spaces.
