Curvy Furniture: The Reason Behind This Trend
The explanation of the change in design is pretty simple – curves are playful and fun. Yet, they reflect our desire for a soft, cosy and also happy home, after these two hard years.
We were sharing two years ago about a macro trend that we defined “the Playful Living Trend” – and here we are, two years later, by seeing the macro trend translated into interiors, design and furniture in curvy designs.
British Vogue recently defined this curved style with his nice name: “puffy furniture”. Curves are welcoming and they evoke a fun yet feminine and gentle world.
Curvy Furniture Trend : Back To The Past
Since the early 20th century, arches and curved have been considered retrograde – but today we look back to them, probably because “tired” of them, and we are fascinated by the beautifully crafted expression of the 19th century Art Nouveau.
In the last century, we already saw curvy shapes becoming on-trend again in some decades – in the 20s with the Art Deco, then in the funky and chunky design of the 70s. We are in the beginnings of this 2020 decade – a decade that again will probably be defined by curves.
