Welcome to the Team
Our team has expanded to bring on board the best design talent we could find.
Our Global Reach
Distance isn’t an issue. We might be based at the bottom of the world, but our work reaches across the globe.

Design for Manufacture
Design for Manufacture
I recently bumped into someone who asked what I did for a living. I told them I was a designer and was met with “oh, you create pretty pictures…”
Yes, it’s where we start, but it’s only a small part of the design process. To develop a product from idea to production requires concept development, CAD modelling, prototyping, CAD refinement, more prototyping and finally production procurement.
227 components, 5 fabric bags, 36 injection mould tools, 3 fabric forming tools, 3 extrusion dies, 8 stamp press tools and 3 spring forming tools produced across two countries is what it took to produce one Barmes freebase. All parts designed and specified from pretty picture to manufacturable product by Formworks.
We’ve moved!
This week we made the move from Henderson to our new studio in Parnell.
You can find us here:
Studio 3.13, Axis Building
91 St Georges Bay Rd, Parnell.
Häfele AXILO™ launched at Interzum 2017
Awesome to see another great project we worked on with Designerscope™, Häfele AXILO™, released at Interzum 2017.
The Häfele AXILO™ plinth adjusting fitting system– the extended lever for cabinet leveling. Every kitchen installer knows the problems with the leveling of kitchen furniture over the plinth feet, in particular the rear ones … Häfele’s clever new adjustment system puts an end to it. The adjustment is done ergonomically and back friendly from the front, with simultaneous monitoring of the level. All told one can save up to 50% of the assembly time. Small cause – great effect. **

Slimline Dual Injector
It’s always great to see another of our projects make it off the drawing board and onto the market. This time it’s from one of our long-standing clients Simcro, who we worked closely with on the development of the Slimline Dual Injector.
Schools Back
First week back at school for our kids, Funscreen at the ready.
Coffee Trials
Here at Formworks we like to keep our staff on task, our clients happy and remain environmentally responsible. That’s why we take our coffee drinking so seriously! Just trying out the latest blends of fairtrade coffee by Kokako coffee.
