An Inspiring Evening with Gordon Guillaumier at FORM
On 22 January, FORM inaugurated its 2026 Design Talks Series with an engaging evening dedicated to creative journeys and professional evolution. The event marked the first in a curated program designed to foster dialogue, insight, and meaningful connections within Malta's design community.
Designers, architects, and design enthusiasts gathered at the FORM showroom on Valley Road, Msida, for an intimate conversation with internationally acclaimed Maltese designer Gordon Guillaumier. Recognized for his refined and thoughtful approach to product and interior design, Guillaumier shared reflections on his professional path — from his formative years as a design student to the establishment of a globally respected studio.
The talk offered a compelling exploration of building a practice grounded in research, material sensitivity, restraint, and cultural awareness, while navigating the complexities of the international design landscape. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, attendees gained a deeper understanding of the discipline, resilience, and long-term vision required to sustain creative excellence.
Set within the curated environment of the FORM showroom, the evening encouraged open dialogue and reflection. A dynamic Q&A session followed, with discussions spanning design methodology, materiality, collaboration, and career development.
The event concluded with a networking reception, allowing guests to connect directly with the speaker and engage in thoughtful exchanges across architecture, interiors, product design, and décor.
The atmosphere reinforced FORM’s commitment to creating platforms where ideas, perspectives, and professional relationships can flourish.
FORM extends its sincere thanks to Gordon Guillaumier for his generosity and insight, and to all those who attended this inaugural session. This first edition sets the tone for the 2026 programme — a continued commitment to inspiration, knowledge-sharing, and community within the world of design.
