Greenform offers a line of fiber cement based products for the design conscious modern market. The line includes large scale planters and furniture from modernist designers both present and past. Our Twista planter was designed by architect Martin Mostboeck of Austria and was awarded the European 2006 red dot award. The Loop chair and table, the Spindel and Biasca planters were designed by Swiss modernist Willy Guhl in the 50's and late 90's.
The use of fiber cement allows for the expression of unique forms that are not only lightweight, but extremely durable. The formed products are hand made in Switzerland and are produced for outdoor as well as indoor use. They are made of mostly organic material, and when the time comes are 100% recyclable.

We believe that our homes and neighborhoods should be healthy, vibrant places that uplift the spirit and gracefully fit our needs. We call for an end to poor construction, bad design, misleading marketing, unfair lending practices and environmental neglect in the housing industry. We acknowledge our collective responsibility to create CLOSE, SIMPLE, LIGHT places to live that leave a positive legacy for future generations.
provides design focused information that homeowners can use to improve the quality of how and where they live. It takes its name from the slow food movement which arose as a reaction to the processed food industry. The sprawl of cookie cutter housing that surrounds us is like fast food - standardized, homogenous, and wasteful. It contributes to a too fast life that is bad for us, our cities, and the environment. In the same way that slow food raises awareness of the food we eat and how these choices affect our lives, Slow Home empowers you to take more control of your home and improve the quality of how you live while reducing your environmental impact and futureproofing the long term investment value of your home.
