Description
Forme is the new conscious brassware collection, rooted in contemporary minimalism for the ultimate versatility. Delicately sculpted, slim, and gracefully curved spouts have been meticulously designed to harmonise balance and flow, while a distinguished array of control options can be matched or intermixed to appeal to diverse specifications.
Our approach to creating a conscious design began with considering sustainable materials. Each product within our collection is made from the purest brass sourced from Northern Europe, and every scrap of waste material is recycled. The brass is then crafted with purpose – it is milled, polished by hand for a flawless lustre finish, and then electroplated using a controlled artisan process.
Subsequently, we investigated how we could conserve precious metals without compromising on quality. While one of our faucets often incorporates an average of 52 brass components, Forme takes on a much more minimalist ensemble of 26. Our in-house experts dedicated countless hours of development to the design of Forme to create components that blend elegance with innate sophistication, both in appearance and performance. Our commitment to refined form and function extends to the mechanics, where the under-deck cartridges have been artfully re-envisioned to provide a standardised application across the range of basin, bath, and bidet fixtures, ensuring ease of installation.
The key to Forme’s conscientious manufacturing lies in the optimisation of our production processes. Using a new, groundbreaking approach, our visionary Design Engineers collaborated seamlessly with our artisans and technicians to find ways of pairing back our factory’s consumption of energy. The main resolution was found by pushing the limits of our Computer Aided Manufacturing to new heights, to achieve components that are perfected to require less intensive polishing and minimal material volume.
Embracing a journey towards a more sustainable future, our efforts have extended to the phasing out of single-use plastics from our packaging with the use of environmentally friendly materials. This fully recyclable packaging retains its integrity for transportation ensuring the product arrives at its destination in pristine condition.
With a cursory glance at the Forme brassware, it is apparent that craftsmanship remains central to our ethos. At our historical brass foundry, each product is birthed from an endeavour of time-honoured craft and advanced precision techniques, informed by unlimited expertise. This reverence for conscious design, sustainable materials, and a refined route of manufacture means that Forme has an ecological grace while still reflecting the quality and craftsmanship that designers have come to expect.
The Forme collection comprises three distinct sub-collections: Speed, Classic, and Oriel. Each with a definitive design approach to make up a versatile collection that harmonises seamlessly with diverse bathroom design schemes.
Speed Forme presents 'energy in motion' inspired by the sculptural elegance of automotive and yacht design. Classic Forme, rooted in the ethos of 'timeless style in motion', pays homage to the iconic shapes of Art Deco. The Oriel family of Forme boasts four design identities to showcase the interplay of light on the engravings across a variety of finishes.
