Vormen is a creative collaboration between artist Edouard Devriendt and furniture maker Leon Duyck. It is a practice that explores the design and production of objects both in their function and in their poetic possibilities. In this continuous process-driven dialogue, object-related projects are also part of the duo's interests.

While our work often stems from a simple idea on paper, their outcome is a result of a process of continuous prototyping and learning. In a collaboration with diverse backgrounds and sensibilities, we constantly discuss, test out, refine, and adapt ideas to strive for the best possible outcome. To understand an object, we need cues about how it works in the space, whether it is flexible and stable, how volume and colour behave, what the surface feels like,... . For vormen, tactility is only understood through material research and physical prototyping in the atelier. All of our objects are made in Belgium and pass through our hands.
