Fora ReForm:

A sustainable approach to our design heritage:

Fora ReForm - a concept made to give new life to original Fora Form products through local upgrading and certification

Giving design classics a new lease of life

With Fora ReForm, we’re creating a sustainable lifecycle, from raw materials to use, reuse, and recycling. This prevents furniture from being thrown away because of a worn cover, broken armrests, or an outdated look. This is why Fora Form is implementing a system for updating and reusing original furniture. Your pieces will be picked up and sent to one of our certified Fora ReForm partners for repair and renewal.

By repairing and reusing Fora Form furniture, you’ll reduce your CO2 footprint by 50-70 percent compared to buying a new piece. You’ll receive refreshed and upgraded furniture with a new five-year warranty on the refurbished parts. We’ll also issue a new environmental declaration (EDP) for your reformed Fora Form product, documenting its actual CO2 footprint and the environmental benefits of Fora ReForm.

Fora ReForm provides you with:

Original parts Covers and parts are sent directly from our factory in Ørsta to the retailer. A certified ReForm partner then carries out the product upgrade. By using original parts, the product’s authenticity and quality are preserved.

New warranty and EPD All products that undergo the Fora ReForm process receive a new 5-year warranty on the refurbished parts. In addition, the product is issued an updated EPD, documenting the CO₂ savings compared to purchasing a new product.

Local repair Products are reformed by certified partners located throughout Norway. This ensures the shortest possible transport distances and the lowest possible CO₂ emissions.

Traceability Once the product has been reformed, it is labeled with a QR code, giving you easy access to an overview of the order, the replaced parts, and the product itself.

A sustainable approach to our design heritage

Fora Form has created social furniture and meeting places through solid craftsmanship and timeless design since 1929. Our ambition has always been to create great indoor experiences. Today we’re taking action to refresh and renew our clients’ interior spaces. We’re doing it by giving our design classics new life, using new materials, and reducing waste at every stage. We call this process Fora ReForm.

How it works:
Your furniture is repaired and renewed in collaboration with our dealers. Skilled upholsterers refit the furniture with new covers sewn at our factory and replace worn parts with new original components. You receive a refreshed and upgraded piece of furniture, along with a new five-year warranty on the refurbished parts.

We also issue a new Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for your refurbished product, documenting its actual CO₂ footprint and the environmental benefits of Fora ReForm.

FURNITURE REQUIREMENTS

Setting the exact requirements for used furniture as for new ones ensures the quality of every used furniture purchase.

An important question to ask yourself in a reuse process is what requirements lie behind a used furniture purchase. Today, public procurement only makes one requirement for used furniture - that the furniture is used.

With Fora ReForm, we want to put requirements for used furniture on the agenda. We offer a new warranty and EPD, just like the requirements for buying new furniture. By giving used furniture certifications and conditions equivalent to contemporary, we want to add value to used furniture. This will prove that the reformed furniture is still suitable for public space.

The green transition also affects our industry. We must act now to achieve the goal of zero emissions by 2050. We can only achieve this by reducing emissions on a larger scale and utilizing the already-produced resources.

What is an original Fora Form product?

High quality All products from Fora Form are made to a high standard of quality. They are tested for use in both public environments and private homes. We test all our furniture at accredited laboratories to ensure they meet strict requirements for quality and durability. High quality ensures a longer lifespan and makes our products well suited for refurbishment and a new life cycle.

Documented sustainability We work systematically to document the sustainability of our products. We aim for all product families to have Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and certification from Svensk Möbelfakta. An EPD is a standardised way of presenting environmental data and provides a solid basis for informed decisions. Following refurbishment, a new EPD is prepared to ensure that documentation remains updated throughout the product’s life cycle. Svensk Möbelfakta is a Type 1 ecolabel that ensures products meet defined requirements for quality, environmental performance, and responsible supply chains.

Preserves value All refurbished products from Fora Form are fitted with a new Fora Form tag, confirming that the product remains original. Original products hold strong value in professional procurement, as their quality, documentation, and lifespan have been thoroughly tested and proven over time.

CIRCULARITY

The ability to replace worn parts and renew upholstery is a natural part of our design approach. In this way, we extend the product’s lifespan. Our products are also designed for disassembly, ensuring that materials can be recycled when the furniture eventually reaches end of life.

This allows us to keep resources in circulation while reducing the need for new, virgin materials.

Which products can be refurbished?

Many of our Fora Form products can be refurbished. Below, you will find a selection of products that are ready for refurbishment.
