A Visionary Landscape Architect Changes the Face of an Industry Landscape architect, John Chipman Sr., loved the great outdoors and was passionate about design. Forty-five 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 and advanced LED lighting. For more than 45 years we have produced site furnishings that help designers and other clients achieve beautiful, functional environments that enhance the experience of outdoor space. Our secret is simple. Design, Culture and Craft drive everything we do. DESIGN is our identity and first priority. We collaborate with world-renowned designers to create world-class design and cultivate design consciousness at all levels of our company. Our efforts are driven by innovation and focused on providing targeted landscape solutions. CULTURE is the shared passion and common purpose that inspire us. Our culture of participation, responsibility and integrity is laser-focused on providing outstanding products and service. Landscape Forms solutions include a wide range of elements from 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) charettes 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. Our headquarters and primary manufacturing facility are located in Kalamazoo, Michigan with two satellite facilities nearby. We have sales representatives throughout North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Asia and have formed global marketing partnerships with select companies that share our commitment to design. We have an installed base of products in the U.S. and around the world. Our clients include municipalities, transit centers, corporate, college and health care campuses; and familiar brand leaders such as Boeing, Cisco Systems, Disney, Sprint, American Airlines, Herman Miller and Nike. We were recently named by the Wall Street Journal as one of the Top 15 Small Workplaces in the US.
