Landscape architect, John Chipman Sr., loved the great outdoors and was passionate about design. Fifty years ago he brought these passions together and founded Landscape Forms, a company with a purpose to create beautifully designed furniture for outdoor spaces. John and his landscape architect friends were the first product designers and his landscaping construction workers the first craftsmen. It was a company founded on design and people, and that legacy continues today.

Landscape Forms is the industry leader in integrated solutions of high-design site furniture, advanced LED lighting, structure, and custom environments. For more than 50 years we have developed and created solutions that help designers and other clients achieve beautiful, functional landscapes that enhance the experience of outdoor space. Our secret is simple. Design, Culture and Craft drive everything we do.

Landscape Forms solutions include a wide range of elements from adaptive outdoor structures to seating, shelters and signage, to bike racks and bollards, litters and LED lights. Our solutions are evidence - and experience - based. We pursue ongoing dialog with the movers and shakers in design and sponsor intelligence-gathering events, including Roundtables on targeted issues, Xtreme Landscape Architecture (XTLA) charrettes for future leaders of the profession and students, and seminars such as Lighting Leadership Exchanges (LLXC) at leading universities. We apply our findings to designing and manufacturing products that address the needs of our customers and emerging issues in the landscape; and we work with designers who are experts in their fields and bring unique aesthetic viewpoints.

We are a North American-based company that since our founding in 1969 has earned a reputation for exceptional products and service. Headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan, our family of brands includes Loll Designs in Duluth, Minnesota, and Kornegay Design located in Phoenix, Arizona.
