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.

Hey Glenn, it’s a pretty simple idea but I always find it really interesting to see other designers’/artists’ workspaces. The book Jonathan Ellery did a few years ago was quality and it was great fun trying to guess which picture matched up with what company. Would be cool to see all the FFF peeps spaces. (Though mine is just my living room at the moment, so probably not that exciting!)

@Rydo The Ellery book was definitely great… I’m not sure how many people would want to see our spaces? But I think it could definitely be an alternative to the standard Q&A interview, not that there is anything wrong with those.
@Reuben Thanks for the reminder about The Selby! Had forgotten to bookmark that ages ago
