Recycled products have become increasingly popular amongst eco-minded consumers, which is exactly what Formr looks to offer in the form of premium home decor. The company was created by industrial designer Sasha Plotitsa and sees construction waste transformed into an array of home decor products including furniture and accents. The company sources materials for its products from contractors and even employs formerly incarcerated persons for an even more socially beneficial ethos.
The various products created by Formr maintain a distinctly stylish aesthetic that will no doubt be right at home within a modern living space, but also highlights functionality to ensure they will work just as well as they appear. The products have several monochromatic stylings, but also highlight a number of pieces with pops of color for a dramatic appeal.
