About Us

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.
