The Runda Tables Are Entry-Level High Design for Modern Homes

While we all aim to bring home furniture that will stand the test of time, tastes and preferences evolve, making timelessness a subjective quality. Instead of replacing furniture, what if we could simply evolve it? Enter the Runda series by Swedish design studio Form Us With Love (FUWL) for Korean furniture brand Rareraw. Part of the 10 Colors of Rareraw exhibition celebrating Rareraw’s decade of creativity, the Runda side tables blend FUWL’s contemporary vision with Rareraw’s playful use of color and mastery of metal, offering an accessible entry into high design for the modern home.

Consisting of three tables – the Circle Table, Square Table, and Long Table – the Runda series is crafted entirely from metal and highlights the raw beauty of the material. Its faceted structure features interlocking bent metal panels that create a waist-like silhouette and a tray-like top. This design reflects light from all angles, adding subtle color variations and visual interest throughout the day.

FUWL focused on making Runda an entry-level piece of designer furniture that is affordable, versatile, and practical. “This partnership merges Rareraw’s exceptional craftsmanship with our expertise in sheet metal, resulting in furniture that balances simplicity and sophisticated design while offering endless possibilities for personalization,” FUWL shares. “We hope this collaboration leads to a product family that presents customers with infinite ways to adapt and evolve their space.”

Priced between €180-€260, the tables are easy to assemble without tools, using only rivets that join the metal pieces. To refresh the look, users can adjust the height, swap tabletops, or mix colors. When the time comes, each table can be passed on or disassembled with the included rivet remover and recycled. With its adaptable design and commitment to sustainability, the Runda series embodies the future of modern furniture: pieces that grow and change alongside us.
