Fora Form is proud to unveil BAST, a new table system designed in collaboration with London-based Norwegian design duo Hunting & Narud. With a form language grounded in clarity and strength, BAST invites us to gather – to share space, focus, and pause together.
The name BAST was carefully chosen through a search for a word that conveys something solid, strong, honest, and enduring.
A collective table for shared spaces
Whether placed in lounges, collaborative zones, or soft work areas, BAST functions as a spatial anchor – a place to pause, reconnect, or shift focus. Available in three sizes, it’s designed to either stand alone or be grouped to create larger, unified landscapes. With a height of 40 cm, BAST supports informal work, conversation, and spontaneous collaboration.
Hunting & Narud approached the design with a clear vision: “We wanted to create a table that is both strong and adaptable – a system with purpose and presence, built to last and change over time.” Designers Amy Hunting and Oscar Narud
Built to endure – and evolve
BAST is constructed with a solid oak base, chosen for its natural durability and ability to age with grace. The tabletop connects to the base via a floating bracket in recyclable aluminum, left untreated and vibratorycleaned to achieve a zero-waste finish. The bracket detail – visible between the leg and tabletop – gives the piece its distinctive visual tension and architectural character.
Every element of BAST is designed for easy assembly, disassembly, and repair. Delivered in two parts – top and base – the table is fastened using just four screws per leg and a standard hex key. This modular approach allows for part replacement and flexibility in finish and color.
Key sustainability features:
• Solid wood construction for longevity and repairability
• Recyclable, untreated aluminium brackets
• Designed for disassembly with household tools
Nordic minimalism with a systems mindset
Hunting & Narud – the Norwegian designers behind BAST – are known for their multidisciplinary and spatiallyaware approach to design. From their East London studio, they have worked with institutions such as Tate Modern, V&A London and The National Museum of Art in Oslo. Their work is driven by material curiosity, craftsmanship, and a belief in design as a problem-solving tool.
BAST reflects these values in both form and function:
• A clear design language rooted in honesty.
• System thinking for scalable flexibility.
• High-quality materials with a strong environmental profile.
• A table built to stay relevant through use, change, and time.
With BAST, Fora Form continues its mission to support collaboration, adaptability, and conscious choices in the spaces where we work and connect.
