Curved Furniture

After decades of boxy, right-angled everything, curves came back with a vengeance. Rounded sofas, kidney-shaped coffee tables, arched bookcases — the organic silhouettes soften rooms in ways that no amount of throw pillows can achieve. The trend traces directly back to mid-century masters like Vladimir Kagan and Pierre Paulin, but today's versions use modern materials and proportions that actually fit through apartment doorways.
