The future is form.bar
"We want to give people the opportunity to shape their environment themselves."
„We are committed to giving people direct access to the latest production technologies and thus giving shape to their own life plans, because space and furniture design should adapt to us, not the other way around.“
People need freedom to develop
This is exactly what we want to make possible. Because an individually adapted environment not only saves increasingly scarce living space, but also provides more living space and thus more quality of life for everyone. With form.bar, people can design their own furniture for the first time and adapt it to their individual ergonomics. The mathematical form optimization and the consideration of manufacturing specifications already during the configuration process, enable the automated production by means of CNC milling at the carpenter's nearby and thus unique pieces in master quality at affordable prices.
„The limits of furniture construction are no longer predefined elements with standard dimensions, but the imagination and ergonomics of the customer.“
Design free-form furniture yourself
Freely formable furniture, self-designed, mathematically optimized and thus harmonious and efficient in terms of function and form. Furniture can now be individually shaped and adapted to special needs and circumstances. This also saves a large part of the material used in conventional furniture production by using material only where it is needed. The intelligent software automatically creates the optimized cutting pattern for the carpenter, who can then produce the individual furniture to measure in a cost-efficient way. We pass this price advantage on to our customers: furniture made to measure by the carpenter are thus affordable for almost all of us. In the Digital Manufacture, completely individual furniture is manufactured using the latest technology and lovingly finished by hand. The intelligent patent-pending process and the high Quality standards make form.bar shelves not only unique and personalized, but also material-efficient and sustainable furniture.
„Nature and its striving for balance and adaptation to constantly changing conditions serve us as inspiration.“
Laboratory for Architecture and Design
Only the interdisciplinarity of architecture, bionics, mathematics and computer science allows the
available technological potential to be exploited to the full and paves the way for the innovative
furniture configurator, which not only revolutionises the understanding of furniture but also heralds a
new era in furniture design.
form.bar is developed by Okinlab, a start-up from Saarbrücken. Okinlab was founded by Nikolas Feth and
Alessandro Quaranta out of the university. The founders' starting point and desire was to make people's
living and working environments more ergonomic, sustainable, material-efficient and harmonious. Numerous
studies and projects using the latest manufacturing and design technologies form the basis of the company.
The link between bionics and interior design
We work at the interface between architecture, design, computer science and research. The use of the most
modern digital production methods plays a central role. The interdisciplinary composition of our team
enables an efficient procedure from design to implementation. Our goal is to harmonize functionality,
ergonomics and aesthetics.
The symbiosis of technical know-how and bionics makes it possible to systematically record and simplify
wishes and needs as well as the most complex requirements and to meet them sustainably during
implementation. Based on our experience from research and practice in the areas of living, furniture,
interior, exterior, exhibition and product, we guarantee quality and highest efficiency from design to production.
That's what our customers say
Thanks to form.bar, we now have real eye-catchers in our living room!
The advice and implementation were top-notch—our contact person in particular deserves a medal for patience and friendliness. I took the wrong measurements, changed my plans several times, and probably drove him crazy... yet he remained friendly and creative and helped us create shelves that are more beautiful than anything we could have imagined. Highly recommended—even for chaotic perfectionists!

As with my first order for our wall unit, a bookshelf, and a room divider, the second order for another shelf was also perfectly executed—exactly as I had imagined it!

As always, everything was perfect. We're already looking forward to our next project with formbar. :-)
Learn moreWonderful shelf
Super unusual, beautiful shelf, great quality, excellent service, everything is great. 100% recommendation.
Learn moreEverything's fine!
Great, custom-made furniture. Perfectly tailored to my space. I think the delivery time of 6 weeks is reasonable, since it was built especially for me. Everything is great!
Learn moreOwn shelf
It was fun to design the shelf on the computer. Communication with form.bar and later with the carpenter went smoothly. The assembly also went without a hitch.
Learn moreSimply great
Very, very nice furniture. Delivered without annoying packaging and still arrived undamaged. For that alone, it would get 10 stars.
Learn moreEverything worked out very well
The system and the business idea behind it are simply fantastic. The carpentry firm Langenkämper did an excellent job. Highly recommended.
Learn moreIt doesn't get any better than this
Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff, brilliant concept, and excellent website. Very quick responses in communication.
Learn moreGood work — a shelf just as I wanted it.
Good work, the shelf is exactly as planned. The customer service is very helpful and customer-oriented. Assembling it myself went quite well, good illustrations.
Learn moreGreat one-of-a-kind piece
Our shelf has turned out to be a truly wonderful, unique piece. Questions prior to approval were answered promptly, and the delivery date was agreed upon in a timely manner. The team from the Bücherl carpentry workshop was punctual, hard-working, and very friendly. The Bücherls completed the installation smoothly. Standard products are certainly available at a lower price, but you won't find such wonderful, custom-made eye-catchers. Excellent.
Learn moreExcellent customer service!
The promised callback was right on time! Then we had a very competent and friendly consultation, including online adjustments to our design proposal for a kitchen table! We are already fans!
