FR33FORM — freedom of movement, handcrafted in Bend, Oregon

FR33FORM, a woman resting in a white Volo lounge on a beach as a wave breaks behind her Why 33?

In numerology, 33 is the master teacher — sincere devotion to the spiritual upliftment of humanity as a whole.

Why the icosahedron?

Twenty triangular faces — the most sphere-like of the five Platonic solids, and the form nature reaches for when it builds without corners: the protein shell of a virus, the silica skeleton of a radiolarian, the lattice of a crystal.

Plato gave this solid to water, the element of flow. It is the argument our frames make too — one continuous line, nowhere to stop, movement as the resting state.

We design for freedom… of movement and playful self expression

All our designs are dynamic…for your well being. Mental health research and our own lived experience have taught us that moving the body not only increases vitality and wellness, but also allows the mind to shift into a calm, regulated state.
