NIDO , a geometric weave for your everyday objects.
The Nido sculpture transforms the complexity of parametric design into a functional and magnetic furnishing object: a latticework that envelops the space and accommodates your small essentials. With a diameter of 16.6 cm and a height of 3 cm, its generous yet lightweight shape is ideal for adding order and style to entryways, bedside tables, or desks, designed for those who appreciate the rigor of mathematical forms applied to everyday life.
Individually crafted using 3D printing, this creation combines the cutting-edge of digital coding with the material presence of a deep black finish, which plays on the contrasts between the structure's solids and voids. The layered texture typical of digital craftsmanship becomes a deliberately visible detail and a signature of Forma 3 , making it perfect for industrial-style environments, modern offices, or as a contemporary accent on marble and light wood.

Who are we?
Shape 3: Where Design Meets the Future
We are an Italian Digital Crafts workshop. At Forma 3, we don't just sell objects: we design and create every single piece you find in our shop in-house, combining the precision of 3D printing with hand-crafted attention to detail.
Our Vision
We believe in design that's not only beautiful to look at, but also intelligent to produce. Our aesthetic is inspired by essential, sculptural forms, designed to add character to your spaces with a unique, contemporary touch.
What sets us apart?
- Made in Italy: We follow the entire product lifecycle, from digital draft to final print, in our studio in Italy.
- Quality, not Quantity: Each item is individually inspected and finished. We don't follow mass production methods: each piece is treated as a unique work of art.
- Conscious Production: We use only PLA (plant-based bioplastic) . We produce only to order (on-demand) : this allows us to eliminate warehouse waste and respect the environment.
- Digital Precision: We leverage the most advanced technologies to create complex geometries and details that traditional manufacturing could not achieve.
Forma 3 is conscious design: shapes born to last, designed for you.
What is PLA?
What is PLA?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a plant-based bioplastic obtained from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane.
We chose it because it's an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics: it's biodegradable, safe for the home environment, and allows for incredible detail definition. Each of our items is printed to order , eliminating unnecessary warehouse waste.
Care and Use
To keep the beauty of your design piece intact:
