How to use Forma /
A practical path through Forma, from the first input to a saved, reviewable result.
A boutique furniture collection pairs burgundy upholstery imagery with warm paper, serif typography and a quiet commerce rhythm. The open shelving system adds a real interactive finish and arrangement journey.
Before you begin
Begin with the brand experience, then follow its primary action into the interactive studio or private workspace.
Create an account in Forma and work in its own private workspace. Accounts and records from another Lumia product are separate. People specifying modular shelving and product teams who need a visual configurator to produce a consistent component list and quotation brief.
Follow the workflow below to understand the application. Contact Lumia for a guided walkthrough; account access is private. An exported file reflects the record at the time of export.
Start with the space
Enter the available width and height before assembling the shelving. These dimensions are constraints for the design. Add floor bays and supported stacked bays while watching the resolved assembly. The interface disables additions that exceed the room limits, helping the visitor see why another bay will not fit before saving.
Choose the arrangement and finish
Build the layout from the collection’s modules, inspect the model and choose a supported finish. Keep stacked pieces fully supported by the module below. Use the dimensions and component list to understand the arrangement as well as its appearance. Decorative objects in the scene are not included in the shelving bill of materials.
Save a design with a complete specification
Give the design a useful name and save it. Reopen it from My designs to recover the layout and finish with its generated bill of materials. Download the PDF for readable dimensions, quantities and estimate, or the CSV for part data. Check the saved specification before handing it to someone else.
Request a quotation for that design
Submit the quotation request after reviewing the saved design. The request retains the exact specification that was reviewed, including its dimensions and estimate. A later design change requires a new review. The request begins an operator conversation about manufacture and fulfilment; it does not sell or reserve a physical shelving unit.
Operating the product
Measure available space and review the saved dimensions before requesting a quotation.
When an added module is rejected, check overlap, support and available width or height instead of overriding the rule.
Save the changed layout and review its regenerated specification before making another request.
Use the readable PDF for a review conversation and the component CSV when part data is needed elsewhere.
Confirm engineering, current prices, manufacturing and delivery arrangements with an operator before treating the design as an order.
