Formworks

Formworks is an industrial design consultancy in Auckland, New Zealand, founded in 1995 and now one of the country’s established studios of its kind. It runs two Auckland bases, one at Cottle Road in Taupaki and one at Clonbern Road in Remuera, where designers, engineers and model makers take products from problem definition through to manufacture.

Work ranges across consumer goods, medical and veterinary devices, aviation and packaging. Alongside a partnership with Air New Zealand that began with the Skycouch and Spaceseat and continued into its future long-haul cabin programme, the studio has designed the Les Mills Smartstep and home storage range, ECOYA’s Keepsake candle and diffuser collection, Manuka Health honey packaging and Simcro’s animal health injectors. More than 90 per cent of its clients have returned for further projects.
