FORM ATELIER
When an object is stripped to its core, removed from time and place, all that remains is form.
Tracing the thread of modernity through time across many different cultures and styles, FORM Atelier looks for the connections between art, objects and furniture, and how they contribute to a larger narrative.
Though founders Avril Nolan and Quy Nguyen look to the past, they’re strongly routed in the present and deal only in pieces that feel modern and relevant today.
