The Healing Forest Table is the debut piece from Formr’s Donation Collection—a limited-edition side table designed in collaboration with Designing Justice + Designing Spaces (DJDS).
Crafted from reclaimed wood and steel, its perforated top evokes light filtering through trees, symbolizing hope, healing, and community. Each table is handmade by individuals overcoming systemic barriers, and 55% of the profit supports A New Way of Life, a nonprofit helping women rebuild their lives after incarceration.
