Mō Forma Tūru
Ko Forma he tūru i hangaia mai i te hiako tannati huawhenua, MDF me te maitai. Ko te āhua o te tūru he whakaahua anō i te hōtaka o te noho hōiho. Ka whakaahuatia te hiako mā te whakamātotoru mākū, tētahi o ngā tikanga tuku iho mō te mahi hiako, e hanga ana i ngā hanga kaha me te mau roa. Mā te whakamātotoru mākū e taea ai te whakawhiti maeneene i waenganui i ngā wāhanga ngāwari me ngā wāhanga pakari, nā reira ka whakarato te tūru i te manawareka me te tautoko. Ko ngā ine o Forma he 560 mm te whānui, 605 mm te hōhonu, me te 670 mm te teitei. Ko te hoahoa nei e whakauru ana i tētahi mahi tuku iho o te hanga noho hōiho ki roto i ngā taonga whare o ēnei rā.

I Muri i te Hoahoa
Kete Pāpāho
Ngā whakamihi, ngā mema o te rōpū me ngā taipitopito hangarau i whakaratohia e te kaihoahoa.
- Āhuatanga Motuhake
- Forma reinterprets the timeless silhouette of a horse’s saddle through the technique of wet molding to shape leather into intricate, structured forms. This method enhances durability and sculptural precision, allowing for seamless transitions between softness and rigidity. By pushing the boundaries of leather manipulation, Forma highlights materiality, refinement, and fluidity, redefining traditional craftsmanship in modern fabrication while achieving both structural integrity and sculptural rhythm.

- Hangarau Whakanao
- 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.
- Wero Hoahoa
- 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.
- Rangahau
- 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.
- Whakaaweawe
- 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.
- Roanga o te Kaupapa
- The project started in January 2023 in Providence, Rhode Island, and was completed in May 2023.
- Rerenga Mahi
- 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.
