Forma Lounge Chair

The Forma Lounge Chair explores the relationship between softness and structure through bold geometric form and material contrast. A high-gloss timber frame wraps around a deeply upholstered leather seat, creating a piece that sits between functional furniture and sculptural object. The upholstered surface is composed of square panels made from recycled offcuts of leather, reassembled into a patchwork that highlights material reuse while adding depth and variation to the seat. Drawing on influences from Italian modernist and radical design, the chair emphasises proportion, silhouette, and presence within the space. Designed and made in Tasmania, Forma reflects Fomu Studio’s ongoing interest in expressive form, craftsmanship, and material permanence.
