About Us
Tracey and Gregory met in graduate school at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2000 and quickly realized they shared a vision for art and design. After graduation they relocated to the NYC area where they began laying the foundation for Delform, which opened in the spring of 2002.
Delform quickly became their mutual focus. Since its inception, Tracey and Gregory have been exploring the vast possibilities of fabrication and decorative finishes for their furniture, lighting and sculpture.
In early 2009 Delform relocated to Rutherford, NJ, 5 miles outside of Manhattan.
While earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ramapo College, Gregory worked as an apprentice metal fabricator. After graduation he continued to pursue his interests in metal sculpture, earning his MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2002. Having won awards in metalwork as early as high school, Gregory DeLaura has been a fabricator for over 17 years and enjoys building furniture and fixtures for NYC-based designers and working with architects on custom solutions.
