What makes a TF product?
We’re rethinking what makes an object beloved - the one that you instinctively reach for, the one you build memories with. The common ingredient across all our products is an element of surprise. We like to think our attention to detail extends beyond the purely practical, to the realm of magic.
Recognizing our Responsibility
Adding new items to this world is a hefty responsibility. Our commitment to sustainability begins at the material level by using recycled, sustainably sourced, and ethical materials in the creation of our diverse line. Items are made in small batches to ensure lifelong quality. Our packaging is also 100% recyclable and designed to keep our parcels as light as possible. Read more about our materials here.
Celebrating our Community
Tortuga Forma participates in and supports the independent design community through collaborations with other small businesses. We’re an Asian-owned, female-run company, and are proud to partner with fellow female and AAPI makers—and to create products and adopt practices that benefit and serve those communities.
Meet Andrea, our Founder
Prior to launching Tortuga Forma in 2018, I spent a decade working at art auction houses. That experience made me want to shift my focus to objects that are precious not because of their auction value, but because they are loved.
A frequent host and happy homebody, I believe the things we love most arise from an alchemy of purpose, design, and emotional connection—and that over time, these items are what build a home, piece by piece.
