Featured pieces
In the Room - Greenpoint
When the architect Naomi Okonjo converted a former rope works on Dupont Street, the brief was a single open floor that still read as four rooms. We drew the Marlow sofa in a 112-inch chaise configuration to hold the living end, set the Halden table on axis with the windows, and left the north wall empty. The whole apartment carries eleven pieces.
See the projectMaterials
We work with four material families and refuse to widen the list. Our white oak comes from FSC-certified stands in Pennsylvania and is air-dried for nine months before it is milled; our steel is powder-coated rather than painted so it can be refinished; our travertine is cut from a single Tivoli quarry. Nothing is veneered over MDF.
How we buildAutumn introductions
The pieces introduced this season, led by the Marlow modular system and the Cairn travertine objects. Each one has spent a full season as a full-scale prototype in the Brooklyn showroom before being released.

Copenhagen & Brooklyn
Formfield began in 2012 in a ground-floor studio on Krusågade in Copenhagen, where our founders - a cabinetmaker and an architect - drew a single lounge chair and spent two years getting the back angle right. That chair is still in the catalogue, unchanged.
In 2017 we opened a workshop and showroom in a former dye house in Brooklyn so that American orders could be built close to the people who buy them. The studio draws, the workshop builds, and nothing goes on sale until a full-scale prototype has been lived with for a season.
“We specified the Halden table for a client in Cobble Hill four years ago. It has since survived two kids and a flood, been refinished once, and the joints have not moved a millimetre.”
“The sofa took thirteen weeks and I would wait again. The bouclé is dense enough that it still reads flat after a year, and the frame does not creak.”
