Form Us With Love performs 'Testing Grounds' at their Stockholm office
“Testing Grounds” take the form of open studios and creative hubs, hand-picked for interactive and hands-on exploration of design and work.
This installation asked the question, “To what extent will design shape future workspaces?” It was intended to encourage interaction, conversation and curiosity among visitors to the space.
'Testing Grounds' focused on themes such as functionality, aesthetics, flexibility, new ways of working, and the relationship between interior and industrial design, and was presented as an exhibition, film, selected events and talks.

New products designed by Form Us With Love share a forward-looking, systems-driven approach to evolution. Work and home seating, lighting, and electrical components have inherent adaptability that allows for a variety of end uses, interchangeable aesthetics, and functionality. You can work in a number of evolving work scenarios, from static offices to hospitality residences, home environments, and public spaces.
The first product was the Hood designed for Ateljé Lyktan. This is a reimagined acoustic light fixture that incorporates his two new materials: linen and wool.
Rather than just a blend, these materials exist individually and each brings unique benefits to the Hood series.

Known for its durability and environmental friendliness, hemp blends seamlessly with sustainability efforts.
Wool, valued for its natural warmth and texture, enhances the lamp's acoustic properties and creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
The hood is built around the emotional value of shelter, with intimate rooms protected and views unobstructed.
This pendant light not only protects your intimate room but also preserves the uninterrupted beauty of the surrounding landscape.

The three-piece modular design provides flexibility and allows users to adjust the hood to suit their space requirements.
The designers then collaborated with tech company Forming Function to develop the Nomad collection, an aesthetic, portable, and scalable ecosystem tailored for today's flexible work lives.
This comprehensive Nomand collection is designed to meet the demands of diverse workplaces and stand the test of time, seamlessly blending design, function and adaptability for the office nomad.
This partnership and process-driven approach identified two key issues: lack of design innovation and lack of comprehensive solutions in this product area.

The main factors identified during the design development stage were:
Recognize the importance of addressing recharging as a fundamental aspect of the workplace.
As with the home environment, we also highlight parallel demands for interior design in the workplace.
It expresses the need for a comprehensive collection that includes electricity, charging and lighting for different workplaces, a collection designed with longevity and the possibility of reuse and recycling in mind.

As the world of work continues to change, interior furniture must go beyond ergonomics and material considerations to adapt to flexible workspaces, better ways of working, and evolving job needs.
Designed by Form Us With Love for Savo AS, Spine provides flexibility for end users and longevity for businesses through a modular and sustainable design.
As the name suggests, Supine has metal fittings on the “spine'' that allow you to adjust the height of the backrest and headrest steplessly.

The modular and flexible design gives you the freedom to use and change the platform, while maintaining a consistent look throughout your office.
Savo approached FUWL with the common goal of creating office furniture for the future. This is a long-term investment for your business due to its upgradability and flexibility. FUWL focuses on the evolution of the office environment, with fewer natural barriers, fewer private offices, and more shared zones.
The synergy between FUWL and Savo's values focuses on the mantra “Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle” and a key part of the company's sustainability efforts with a focus on product development for a circular economy. I'm guessing.

Savo chairs, including the Spine, are built using a layer-by-layer design, allowing all components to be removed, repaired, and updated over time, resulting in longevity and durability.
Stolab Möbel AB speaks to architects and designers beyond the traditional “dining space” identity and with a more contemporary aesthetic, especially in tomorrow's offices that increasingly combine the best of home and work. We are faced with the challenge of developing products that require a broader range of applications. .
Alternative collection of Stolab Möbel AB by Form Us With Love
In response, Stolab's journey led to the creation of the Alt Collection by FUWL. This is a component-based chair series that can be adapted for static seating by combining and adapting the upper and lower parts.
For example, a classically shaped top that supports the back and blends with residential style can be specified with a swivel base for effective use in an office environment.
Each chair maintains the classic warmth of Stolab's design while offering contemporary touches related to the necessary ergonomics and work flexibility.
