Meet the Forma Furniture Team
Travis Garrish
Founder | Owner
Travis Garrish, a California native, has worked in the furniture industry since the very first job he took out of high school. After working at several stores and learning the ins and outs of the ever-changing industry, Travis’s entrepreneurial spirit got the best of him. He pooled all his savings, assets, and all the credit he could muster to open Forma Furniture- which became a reality in 2004. Since the opening of Forma in Fort Collins, the surrounding city has grown from a “quaint town” to a bustling small city and the furniture industry has grown right along with it. Despite this growth- Travis has stayed true to his commitment; delivering the highest quality products by the most well-trained, friendly knowledgeable staff. After nearly 20 years- Forma has expanded to 3 locations as well as an online store and now serves the Front Range as the “go-to” store for premier Colorado modern furniture.
When Travis isn’t working, he likes to spend time with his family and enjoys playing golf. He appreciates the arts and is very active in the community.
“Travis has been very accommodating and flexible with us and we greatly appreciate his superior customer service.”- Jeanne Millikin
