FORMA redefines architectural cladding with a balance of strength, design purity, and sustainability.

Every panel is made from Osnabrück clay, a material shaped by centuries of craftsmanship and engineered for modern performance.

Our commitment to Cradle-to-Cradle design ensures every element of FORMA is recyclable, renewable, and ready for the buildings of tomorrow.

Applications

From private homes to cultural landmarks, FORMA creates seamless envelopes where walls, roofs, and windows unite into a single architectural statement.

Engineered for lightweight performance and durability, FORMA adapts to projects of every scale.

  • FORMA brings depth and rhythm to façades, whether used in bold vertical stretches or fine-grain horizontal detail. Tiles can be installed in modular grids or continuous bands, offering architects full design freedom.

  • Unlike traditional cladding, FORMA transitions smoothly from wall to roof, producing a unified architectural form. This creates a sculptural quality while protecting the building envelope with proven durability.

  • The system integrates with frames and edges to deliver sharp, precise details around windows, doors, and transitions — eliminating awkward breaks and enhancing architectural purity.

  • FORMA’s palette of natural tones allows it to sit comfortably in historic districts, rural landscapes, or bold contemporary developments.

  • Lightweight yet robust, FORMA is equally suited for new construction or as a modern skin for existing structures, bringing efficiency and visual refinement.
