rundformade

Rundformade is a Swedish adjective meaning rounded in form or round-shaped. It is used to describe objects, surfaces, or outlines that are curved rather than sharp or angular. The term is often found in design, architecture, manufacturing, and product descriptions to convey a soft or streamlined appearance.

In usage, rundformade describes both two‑dimensional outlines and three‑dimensional bodies. It emphasizes the absence of acute angles and can refer to everyday items as well as structural features. For example, one might speak of a rundformad kopp (a rounded cup), rundformade kanter (rounded edges), or rundformade möbler (furniture with rounded shapes). The term can also appear in technical contexts, such as rundformade ytor on a panel or a rundformad fasad in architectural descriptions.

Grammatical notes: rundformade is the form used with plural nouns or with certain feminine singular constructions. The corresponding singular form is rundformad. In phrases involving adjectives and nouns, rundformade agrees in number and gender with the noun it modifies (e.g., en rundformad yta, rundformade ytor).

See also: rund (round), form (shape), kanter (edges), geometri (geometry).

Rundformade thus serves as a concise descriptor in Swedish for objects or features characterized by softness of outline and avoidance of sharp corners, highlighting a design or manufacturing choice toward curvature.
