What the FFF?

Founded in 2005 by an ever growing group of young designers and vagabonds eager to collect and share the best design work they came across, FormFiftyFive soon became an international showcase of creative work.

Although the site was doing a great job at sparking creativity, we felt it could, and should, be even bigger and better. So we spent many moons working on a brand new FormFiftyFive, still high in eye (and brain) candy, but with a brand new look and lots of new features that dig even deeper into what’s happening in the design community.

We’ve also added more interactive elements on the site so people can exchange and store ideas more easily, encouraging collaboration and making the site more than just another design blog.

So have a look round, if you see something you love or hate be sure to comment, and drop us a line if there’s a juicy bit of creative gold you’d like to see on here.

Keep it real, the FFF team.

    Do you remember the 3rd year project @ DOJ when we had 2 pick an
    artist or designer that inspires us and then design a piece of packaging
    influenced by that artist (cast your mind back)? Well, I chose Thomas
    Heatherwick (the guys a genious) as the inspiration for my piece of
    packaging. It operates exactly like this example of his wonderful hydraulic
    bridge. Would you like to see the results? :)

  2. Yeah why not mate! Heatherwicks bridge actually featured in a Pecha Kucha talk I just got back from. Mind blowing shit!

  3. I first came across the Heatherwick when my architect flatmate showed me his “sitooterie” which was mental – the word sounds even better when said with an exaggerated Scottish accent!
