About Us

Respecting the Visionaries

Merging tradition with innovation to create tomorrow’s classics.

Through precision, restraint, and the pursuit of perfection, we preserve the legacies of iconic furniture designers by respecting their ethos and carrying their vision forward into new forms.

In a world overrun with throwaway products and trend-driven sameness, we build with mastery—furniture that endures fads and carries a lifetime of character.

Our Story

Founded in 2017 in Vancouver BC, Archetype Forms began as a group of creatives, artists, and professionals building and providing custom furniture for select clients.

In 2023, we set out to make the "archetypes" of furniture design available to a wider audience: timeless modern and mid-century masterpieces, reproduced with uncompromising quality and new possibilities for customization.

Alongside these classics, we create exclusive modern designs that extend the lineage of the masters while offering something distinctly different, always adhering to the same exacting standards of the design icons.

In 2024, we launched our e-commerce site to serve clients across the USA and Canada, presenting these works with exclusive material options and variations that allow each customer to shape their own archetypes.

With our dedicated factory, we remain committed to precision craftsmanship and the belief that true furniture design is an art that elevates living.

ar·che·type form noun

A fundamental design model that establishes the original pattern from which variations are derived; in furniture, a timeless form that defines proportion, function, and character, serving as a reference point for all subsequent furniture designs.

Our name, Archetype Forms, reflects this principle. We curate the iconic and often overlooked archetypes that shaped modern and mid-century design, narrowing them to a collection that makes style effortless. Each piece we offer embodies these original models or extends their influence, giving discerning individuals access to works that carry design at its source.

Our curated collection is offered to the discerning individual who values quality, originality and unique character in their spaces.

The Path to Our Launch

In anticipation of our ecommerce website launch, we invested significant effort into curating an exclusive range of designs, each meeting our exacting standards, and fine-tuning our digital-first shopping platform to enhance the customer experience.

Our founders bring over two decades of specialized industry knowledge, spanning ethical sourcing, precision crafting and customer-centric digital engagement. This year signifies our official launch as Archetype Forms, and marks the inauguration of a new standard in online furniture shopping. Our digital-first approach offers unparalleled convenience and customization options, catering to individuals who value originality and craftsmanship.

Inspired by the Pacific Northwest

Founded in Vancouver BC, Canada, our collection draws inspiration from the Pacific Northwest’s vibrant urban hubs, serene beaches, lush forests, and tranquil parks. This unique environment serves as the creative backdrop for our curated offerings.

Our furniture effortlessly adapts to any setting, whether harmonizing with your surroundings or creating a captivating contrast. Each piece is meticulously constructed and configurable, with a range of customizable options in materials, colors, fabrics, and finishes.

The Road Ahead

We’re committed to continually broadening our designs and material offerings, as well as making your online purchasing easier than ever.

With a solid foundation in place, we’re excited about the opportunities ahead. Stay informed about our journey by signing up for our newsletter or following us on social media. Or, for specific requests, please contact us.
