Formans are a type of small, often decorative, container used for holding various items, typically in a home or office setting. They can be made from a variety of materials, including glass, ceramic, or metal, and come in different shapes and sizes. Formans are commonly used to organize small objects like pens, paper clips, or even decorative items. In some contexts, the term "forman" may also refer to a person who oversees a specific task or group, similar to a supervisor. This usage is less common but can be found in certain industries or workplaces, where a forman is responsible for managing a team or project.
