Founder’s Message

I created FORMA because I saw what was missing in the luxury design world. The most talented designers, builders, and architects were creating stunning spaces, but there wasn’t a place designed for them, a place that reflected their level of taste, creativity, and professionalism. FORMA was built to fill that gap. It’s not another networking group. It’s an exclusive community and resource designed to connect the top professionals in our industry through immersive events, shared experiences, and access to The Luxury Tree House, a venue that blends culinary artistry, design, and hospitality in one unforgettable setting. FORMA gives you the space to connect with like-minded peers, host experiences that make your clients feel special, and align your brand with the finest names in the industry.

Chef Robbie Rensel Founder, FORMA Creator of The Luxury Tree House
