Studio — Copenhagen
Small, slow, specific.
OBJECT/FORM is an independent design practice of four people in Copenhagen. We are not a factory and not a brand — we are a studio that treats furniture with the patience usually reserved for architecture.
Philosophy
Design, for us, is a sequence of decisions — about material, proportion, joint and finish. When each decision is honest, the object becomes inevitable.
“We do not decorate rooms. We make the few objects a room deserves.”
Anders Holm — founder
Approach — 01/04
On form.
Begin with material
A piece often begins with a single plank, a block of stone or a sheet of steel. We ask what the material wants to be before we draw a line.
Work at full scale
We prototype at 1:1. A full-size mock-up tells the truth about proportion, weight and how a body meets an object; scale models only flatter.
Design the joint
Joints are where craft lives. We design every connection to be visible and honest — dovetail, bridle, mortise and tenon, threaded brass.
Stop at restraint
When a form is right, it resists improvement. We stop there, finish by hand, and let the material age.
Collaboration
Made with people, not machines.
Five workshops. One studio. Zero assembly lines.
H. Lindqvist & Søn
Joinery and steam-bent oak. Third generation, sixty years of curves.
Officina Marchetti
Stone. Honed travertine and dark basalt, cut and finished by hand.
Atelier Nordform
Metal. Brushed and patinated steel, machined and finished without coatings.
Glashyttan Väst
Opaline glass, hand-blown for our lamp diffusers.
The Studio Bench
Assembly, natural finishing, numbering and the archive — done in our own atelier.

Limited production
Editions, not inventory.
Every object is made to order in an edition of eight, plus two artist’s proofs. Each piece is numbered, signed and documented in the studio archive; patterns and drawings are kept, so a piece can be serviced for decades. When an edition is complete, it is closed — permanently.
