About Us

Design Forum, nestled in the heart of Farmington, within the rolling hills of Connecticut has become a destination for shoppers seeking creative home accessories and personal adornments for more than 40 years. While showcasing today’s most talented artisans, Bill, an art instructor and his wife Joan, a fashion designer, combined their passions to create one of Connecticut’s most inspiring and respected galleries.

The cozy brick store’s emphasis has always been on creative and quality merchandise with a desire to satisfy the most discerning customer. While Design Forum specializes in art jewelry, it is renowned for bold taste in stunning home accessories, exquisite body products, creative clothing and purses. Today, Design Forum remains on the bold cusp of what’s creatively classic and fashionably modern.

DesignForumGallery.com was created with the vision to share our choice of top designers with the rest of the country and the world. Our selection of truly beautiful and unique gift and jewelry items are just a click away. And when you’re in the Farmington area, please come by and say "hi", we’d love to meet you.
Unfortunately, as of this time the physical store is no longer in existence.  We are now a virtual business.  After 50 years, Bill and Joan decided it was time to retire and spend time with family.  We still love the world of jewelry and will continue to search out some of the most creative designers to bring to you.  We hope you will continue to watch the website evolve.  You can reach us any time at info@designforumgallery.com.
