About Us

Hey there! We’re Matt and Emma, a sibling duo from Pukekohe, New Zealand. Matt handles the designs, bringing each piece to life with a mix of creativity, precision and an obsessive eye for detail. Emma looks after the marketing and makes sure Formello looks as good online as it does hanging in your home.

Formello began from a simple chat about classic Kiwi lollies, the shapes, colours and memories that everyone recognises. What started as curiosity turned into months of research, test prints and late-night design sessions.

Each Formello piece starts with photogrammetry, where we 3D-scan real lollies to capture every tiny detail, imperfections and all. The digital models are refined using computer software before being 3D printed in high-quality PLA plastic on our printers here in Pukekohe. Every piece is then looked over (little bit of sanding sometimes!), and then packed by hand, where it's shipped straight to you.

What you see is our own digital take on the classic Kiwi lollies we all grew up with, created through modern technology. Everything we make is designed, printed and finished by us in-house, turning nostalgic treats into cool décor for your home.
