Studio Formagora

Studio Formagora is a design collective founded in Münster, Germany, in 2022 by Esra Heuermann, Finn Blankenberg, Nele Heise and Nick Potter. It works where design, craft and art meet, with public space, encounter and hands-on making as the core of the practice, and describes itself as a young Designbüro rather than a classic office.

Projects are built with the people who will use them: workshops with residents, students and local associations produce benches, birdhouses, schoolyards and furniture, often from reclaimed wood, and the process counts as much as the object. Commissions include Stadtmobiliar for Wolbeck, a green classroom and campus for schools in Bochum, a composting festival with the city’s waste authority, and Co-designing GündiWest for World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026.
