About us
Objects with a past, chosen one by one.
FormaFinds is a small gallery of vintage objects, found across Europe and shipped from the Netherlands.
Glass, metal, ceramics and lighting from the twentieth century, each one the only one of its kind.
01 · Found
Sourced across Europe
We look for pieces in estates, with dealers and in private homes across the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Italy.
We choose objects for their form, their material and the hand that made them. Only one of each makes it into the shop.

02 · Inspected
Measured, graded and written down
In our studio in the Netherlands, every piece is cleaned, measured by hand and photographed.
We grade its condition on a four-step scale and write down what we see, so you know exactly what will arrive. When a maker is known we name them. When it is not, we say so.

We would rather find one right piece than a hundred almost-right ones.
03 · Delivered
Packed by hand, sent across the world
Each piece is wrapped and boxed by hand and shipped tracked from the Netherlands, to Europe, the United States and beyond.
We are clear about the journey before you buy: delivery times, shipping cost at checkout, and what you pay on arrival outside the EU.
