Characteristics of curved sofas
Designers like Jean Royere, Design Piero Lissoni, Vladimir Kagan and Pierre Yovanovitch are some of the designers who have popularized this style of sofa that makes easier and more fluid any conversation, as do the round tables.
The smooth lines and slight elevation above the ground give these sofas a light and elegant aesthetics. Thus, despite their daring, they adapt to all kinds of environments: modern, retro, contemporary or classic, as you can see in the images.
The degrees of curvature of these sofas, as well as their depth, vary considerably from one design to another. However, they all have features in common. Most are made in one piece and they rise from the ground thanks to small legs or, more commonly, to platforms. You can be covered with metallic materials or the same fabric used to upholster the sofa.
