Society is embracing curves all around--whether they're on bodies or in design. Curvy furniture, especially, has gained popularity among designers and consumers, to the point where sharp edges and cut-and-dry shapes are no longer the preferred aesthetic. In this collection of curvy furniture, you'll find seats, tables, shelves and other furnishings with undulating silhouettes and rounded, wavy forms. Finally, it's not hip to be square!
Implications - The Internet has made it possible for more independent designers of all kinds to sell their wares. One of the best ways a company or brand can fashion itself as original is by creating products that deliberately eschew conventional design and work as a novelty item in addition to being pragmatic.
