About Forma Engineering

Design, engineering and product development in Barcelona

Forma is a Barcelona-based studio focused on industrial design, product engineering and 3D development. We work with brands and architects to develop physical products from concept to production. Our approach combines modelling precision, material research and technical refinement.

             physical goods, engineering, academia, and a long-standing engagement with product development, Forma Engineering operates as a design studio shaped by these disciplines. We are informed by technical training, teaching, and research, and by a belief that products are cultural artifacts as much as functional ones—meant to be understood, used, and to endure.

We work with a limited number of projects, following a precise and product-centered process from early ideation to implementation. Our decisions are witty and guided by empathy towards the user, proportion, material intelligence, manufacturing logic, and real sustainability—understood as longevity, clarity, and restraint rather than addition. We consider every element in relation to use, context, and time.

Our practice moves between design, reflection, and dialogue. Whether shaping objects or advising on their development, we value depth over speed, clarity over noise, and a way of working where thinking and making remain closely aligned.
