Meet Forma: The Furniture That Makes Your Pool Deck Look Like a Five Star Resort

Picture the last resort pool that stopped you in your tracks. Chances are the furniture had something to do with it. Smooth, sculptural, nothing bulky or borrowed from a big box store. That's the feeling behind Forma, our newest vendor partner and one of the most exciting names in luxury outdoor seating right now.

The Forma Collection is built around a simple idea: your pool deck or patio should feel as intentional as the inside of your home. Every piece is sculpted from a single flowing form, so there's nothing clunky and nothing that reads as an afterthought. Whether you're outfitting a tanning ledge, a Baja shelf, or the patio just off the back door, Forma brings a modern, designer edge to every corner of your outdoor living space.

Here's what makes it worth a spot on your wish list.

1. Why We Chose Forma as a Brand Partner

Forma is a design studio built around one goal: shape furniture for the way people actually live outside. Instead of chasing trends, they lean into clean, sculptural silhouettes that feel timeless rather than seasonal.

Every piece is molded from a UV20 rated resin engineered to withstand up to 20,000 hours of sun exposure, and finished with marine-grade 316 stainless steel hardware so it holds up through salt air, chlorine, and everyday wear. It's the rare combination of comfortable, durable, and unlike anything else on the market. If you've ever scrolled a resort's poolside photos and wondered where the furniture came from, there's a good chance it looked something like this.

It's the kind of collection that works beautifully on its own, and even better alongside natural stone coping, tile waterlines, and a neutral hardscape palette. One note if you're planning a full deck: Forma pieces are designed as a coordinated set, so ordering the full lineup is what creates that cohesive, resort-caliber look.

2. What's Included in the Forma Collection

The current lineup is four pieces, each designed to be used partially submerged on a sun shelf, tanning ledge, or Baja shelf, up to 12 inches of water depth.

• Forma In-Pool Chaise Lounge: a full-length sculptural lounger for stretching out and relaxing partially submerged
• Forma In-Pool Chair: a shorter, upright seat for guests who want to lounge without lying flat
• Forma Poolside Seat: built for the pool's perimeter, ideal for cooling off without full immersion
• Forma In-Pool Side Table: a companion piece with a built-in umbrella passthrough, so drinks and shade stay within reach

Together, they form a complete, matching poolside setup. That's what sets this apart from a single statement piece, it's a whole scene.

3. Comfort Meets Commercial-Grade Durability

The question we hear most about luxury outdoor seating is whether it can actually hold up to daily use, especially around a shared or high-traffic pool. Forma was built with that question in mind. Each seating option carries a 300 pound weight capacity (100 pounds for the side table), and every piece is molded as a single, one-piece form with no fasteners or seams to loosen over time.

Best for: residential pools, HOA amenity decks, resort and hospitality properties

Watch for: all pieces are sold in pairs or as individual units, so plan your seating count around the deck layout ahead of time

4. Designed to Coordinate, Not Just Match

A lot of modern patio furniture is sold piece by piece, which can leave a deck feeling disjointed. Forma took the opposite approach. The Chaise, Chair, Poolside Seat, and Side Table all share the same sculptural language, smooth, flowing curves and a consistent white finish, so they read as one cohesive collection instead of four separate purchases.
