Form Portfolios
Cover image missing

In homage to Italian lighting master Carlo Nason, Form Portfolios opens its studio in central Copenhagen to a reflective presentation on Nason’s enduring legacy and the poetic clarity of glass, form, and light. The exhibition brings together rare archival pieces, newly rediscovered sketches, and a contemporary reappraisal of Nason’s iconic work—curated to illuminate both his inventive mind and the magic of Murano craftsmanship.

Founded in 2016, Form Portfolios owns and manages the work of historic and contemporary designers. Form champions the legacy of each designer through partnerships with brands, cultural institutions and galleries. As the trusted partner for designers and brands, Form uncovers and curates unique portfolios. Recent partnerships include Eames Lighting with Cassina, Gianfranco Frattini with CB2 and Bill Curry with Gubi. Form is based in Providence, Rhode Island, with a creative studio in Copenhagen, Denmark.
