About FORMA
Who we are
A festival, a school and a shop for good design
FORMA started in 2021 as a weekend of open studios. Today it is a non-profit association that runs Casablanca's design week, an online academy and a store whose profits fund young makers.
- Free entry to every exhibition for students and under-12s
- 40% of store revenue goes back to the makers
- A grant for three young designers every year
- Venues chosen to restore unused buildings
