ormini – Tangible design tools for interior professionals
Formini is a physical design toolkit developed for interior professionals who want to design, communicate and present spatial concepts more clearly and efficiently. Instead of relying solely on floor plans or digital 3D visualisations, Formini brings interior design literally to the table.
Founded by designer Sophie Dekkers, Formini offers scale models at 1:50 and 1:25 that allow designers, stylists and studios to explore layouts, proportions and routing in a tangible way. By physically placing and moving furniture models on a floor plan, ideas become instantly understandable for clients, teams and collaborators.
Formini supports every phase of the design process — from early concept development and internal discussions to client presentations and workshops. The tool helps professionals make faster decisions, reduce misunderstandings and improve spatial communication. The neutral design of the models keeps the focus on spatial logic and function rather than style.
Beyond its core collections for residential interiors, Formini also develops custom scale models for furniture brands, studios and manufacturers. These bespoke miniatures translate furniture collections into professional presentation tools for showrooms, client meetings, point-of-sale environments, trade fairs and brand presentations.
All Formini models are produced in the Netherlands using durable bioplastic with natural fibres, designed for intensive professional use. The modular collection allows professionals to expand the system and adapt it to their own workflow.
At InCoDa, Formini presents a new way of working: tangible, intuitive and spatial. A design tool for professionals who believe that interior concepts become stronger when you can see them, move them and discuss them together.

Designers toolkit 1:50
Formini is a professional toolkit of interior scale models designed for spatial design, communication and presentation. The collection allows interior designers, architects and stylists to explore layouts directly on a floor plan using furniture scale models. By placing and moving the models on a plan, designers can quickly test different arrangements, compare options and develop spatial concepts before creating detailed drawings or 3D visualisations. This makes it easier to discuss ideas with clients and colleagues, while gaining a clearer understanding of proportions, routing and spatial relationships. Formini helps professionals design faster, communicate ideas more clearly and make decisions earlier in the design process. Formini toolkits are used by • Interior designers • Architects • Interior stylists • Design studios • Interior design students The main collection consists of three scale model sets: • Compact Living • Family Living • Spacious Living Each set contains furniture models for living areas, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and storage elements, allowing designers to quickly build complete interior layouts. The models are produced in the Netherlands using bioplastic with Dutch elephant grass fibres, making them lightweight, strong and durable. Formini provides a tactile design tool that complements digital workflows and helps professionals explore ideas in a faster and more intuitive way.
Point-of-Sale Scale Model Kits
Formini POS scale model kits help retailers and brands present furniture collections within the context of a complete interior. While digital configurators are excellent for customizing a single product, Formini allows designers, retailers and clients to explore how multiple furniture pieces work together within a space. By placing scale models on a floor plan, it becomes possible to design and discuss entire interior layouts. Clients can see how sofas, tables, chairs and storage elements relate to each other, how routing works and how the space feels as a whole — using multiple products from the same collection. This creates a more interactive and spatial sales experience, where the focus is not only on one product, but on the complete living environment. POS kits are ideal for • Interior stores • Kitchen and furniture showrooms • Furniture retailers • Design studios • Sales consultations and interior advice Each kit can be tailored to a brand’s collection and includes selected scale models representing key products. This allows retailers to present different layouts and combinations while naturally incorporating multiple products from the same collection into the sales conversation. For many retailers it is difficult to create scale models themselves, as technical drawings and product data are usually only available at brand level. When a brand develops a Formini POS kit for its collection and provides it to retailers, it becomes a powerful additional sales tool across the entire dealer network. Retailers receive a ready-to-use presentation tool that allows them to design layouts with clients and showcase multiple products from the collection at once. Formini helps retailers move beyond individual product presentation and start designing with their clients — with the entire collection within reach.
Custom Furniture Scale Models
Formini develops custom scale models for furniture brands, interior brands and manufacturers. We translate existing furniture collections into precise scale models that can be used for presentations, design processes, showrooms and trade fairs. By presenting a collection in miniature, designers, retailers and clients can immediately understand how furniture relates to the space and to other elements in the interior. This makes it easier to test layouts, discuss combinations and make well-informed design decisions. Applications • Point-of-sale presentations in retail stores • Showroom presentations • Trade fairs and exhibitions • Interior design consultations and design processes • Presentations for dealers and sales teams All models are developed based on the original product dimensions and produced in the neutral Formini style, allowing them to be easily combined with material and colour samples from the collection. Formini makes furniture collections tangible and helps brands communicate their designs more clearly and convincingly.
