Curved Cabinetry

Curved edges have been taking over the home for the last few years. Circular forms are endlessly appealing – their touch-me roundness lacks alarming, shin-bashing, bruise-making angles and sharpness, while curvaceous forms promote a feeling of flow and fluidity in the home as well as providing physical softness.

Whereas upholstered furniture adapted swiftly to the vogue for curvature, harder materials took longer to catch up – with cool and creative consequences. Storage pieces such as cabinetry, drawers and desks are rounding their corners and edges, creating curved contours and soft sides.
