Välutformad

Välutformad is a Swedish adjective meaning well designed or well formed. It is formed from the prefix väl- meaning well and the past participle utformad from utforma, to design or shape.

The term is used across domains to describe objects, systems, and texts that display clear structure, functionality, and aesthetic quality. It implies thoughtful consideration of how the design serves users or purposes, rather than mere appearance. Common contexts include consumer products, user interfaces, architecture, and editorial or graphical design, as well as architectural plans.

In evaluative use, välutformad signals a high-quality integration of form and function, such as readability, accessibility, and coherence. It can be part of marketing language but is also found in technical analysis and design criticism. The term is not tied to a single style or trend; it describes effectiveness and polish rather than a specific look.

Morphology and usage: as an attributive adjective, it agrees with the noun in gender and number; examples: En välutformad produkt; Ett välutformat användargränssnitt; Flera välutformade lösningar. The word is common in Swedish and often used in professional and design discourse.
