19th century novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton once said, “In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.” Whether studying the curvature of a chair’s hand-carved arm or witnessing the bright gleam that reflects off a shiny, convex surface, the arcing lines of these five designs (including Frits Henningsen’s Signature Chair, Marcio Kogan’s Superbowl, Angelo Mangiarotti’s M Table, Xavier Lust’s Credence credenza, and Atelier Oi’s Allegro chandelier collection) are as seductive and poetic as waves in the sand.
