About

We are pleased to announce that Forum Lighting has officially rebranded as Foroma Collective. More than just a change of name, Foroma Collective reflects the evolution of our team and our business. Our conversations with clients now range far beyond lighting, incorporating acoustics, furniture, and lighting into seamless design solutions.


FOROMA — the result of bringing together the expertise and resources of Forum Lighting and Furniture Forum. This strategic collaboration unites two industry leaders, each with extensive experience in Commercial Lighting, Retail Lighting, and Workplace Design across the Commercial, Retail, and Hospitality sectors.

By combining forces, FOROMA offers a truly comprehensive solution for commercial design needs — from concept to completion. Our unique offering blends specialist lighting design with expert workplace consultancy, allowing us to advise clients on complete workplace strategies. With in-house design expertise and partnerships with some of the industry’s leading brands — including LAMP, Targetti, MillerKnoll, and more — we provide turnkey consultancy services, integrating technical lighting design with space planning and workplace strategy.

This merger positions us as one of the largest companies of our kind in the UK, proudly serving a broad client base that includes corporate, retail, and commercial sectors, as well as professional consultancy firms. With offices in Reading, and London, we are perfectly placed to serve clients across the entire UK market.

FOROMA is here to simplify the process, offering an end-to-end solution that delivers inspiring, functional spaces tailored to your needs.
