| In the most extraordinary designs, we can gain an understanding of the designer’s creative vision—and oftentimes, these visions are not rigid. Instead, they’re full of curves and bends, twists and turns, which require highly-skilled construction techniques to build curvaceous shapes, forms, and silhouettes. This week, we’re highlighting five shapely designs to add enticing curves to any space. |

| LOUNGE CHAIR 43 |
| Alvar Aalto |
| “Relax and unwind” takes on an elevated meaning in Lounge Chair 43. An exploration of the possibilities of bentwood manufacturing, the design tactfully showcases the stability and flexibility offered by birch lamella, which allows for curves and bends comparable in strength to tubular steel, but with an added warmth. The linen webbing adds a tasteful new texture and dimension, adding to an even more restful experience with Lounge Chair 43. Webbing available in black, black/blue, black/brown, natural/black, natural/white, and natural/red. |

| CB-450 GEOMETRIC SIDE CHAIR |
| Craig Bassam and Scott Fellows |
| Leather, wood, and steel join together in perfect harmony in the Geometric Side Chair. Like most of BassamFellows’ designs, the design draws from clear mid-century influences while incorporating a contemporary edge. Leather wrapping provides extra comfort and support by connecting the two structural elements of the chair’s tubular, bent steel back and frame, while also adding a stylish visual detail. Frame in nickel or bronze. Seat in ash or walnut. Leather seat cushion optional. |

| PP130 CIRCLE CHAIR |
| Hans J. Wegner |
| The idea of making a chair based on the most simple and elegant shape of them all, the circle, remained a distant dream until Hans J. Wegner completed this design at the age of 72. The project spanned his entire career and became one of his most visionary endeavors, as very few designs express the incorporation of geometric shapes as effectively and profoundly as this extraordinary design. Versatile and comfortable, the PP130 is light and transparent, practical and flexible, and easy to move around, fitting into almost any interior. |
