Summer Spotlight: Contrasting Shapes
This summer’s going to be different. The interiors world has been filled with roundness for several seasons – it’s time to mix it up. Circular forms are melding with the more angular, corners giving the smooth some oomph, curves softening the linear.
Bask in the warm wind of change with our selection of designer angles, curves, and everything in between from the likes of Fritz Hansen, Glas Italia, Knoll, Porada and more. Explore it all in our huge Greater London showroom, or at chaplins.co.uk.
Shaping up your space
1. Valentino Dining Table, Cattelan Italia
A minimalist sculpture turned functional, the Valentino Dining Table by Emanuele Zenere seems to balance impossibly on itself, the sharp angles calmed with rounded forms and natural materials.
2. Reunion Mirror, Ligne Roset
The dual geometric forms of the Reunion Wall Mirror give the piece a double function – attached to the wall the American walnut frame is a decoration, while on flat surfaces it enables the piece to free stand.
3. Plot Room Divider, Poltrona Frau
Using straight lines to create curves, the geometric forms decorating the modular Plot Room Divider by GamFratesi are made up of plaited pieces of soft leather, creating privacy as well as beauty.
4. Polifemo Drinks Cabinet, Porada
Its angular form defined by a semi-circle cut-out opening, the Polifemo Drinks Cabinet by Giovanna Azzarello offers a glimpse into its interior and invites you to place a pair side by side to form a full circle..
5. Trichroic Duo Rug, Moooi Carpets
The Trichroic Duo Shape Rug by Rive Roshan tells the story of opposite shapes
intersecting, the roundness of circles contrasted with shifting graphic lines and sharp

Combining a rounded seat cushion with a juxtaposing angular upholstered frame, the

A huge, wow-factor disc of golden glass intersected with a criss-cross of shelving, the

grand arching frame.

A hunk of veined travertine carved into a circular and hexagonal duo, the Epic Dining
Table by GamFratesi recalls the monolithic majesty of ancient Roman architecture.
