Curves have always lived in the design world, but they have been much more prevalent lately. While many are making it a trend, we believe curves still have a place in design, offering rounded corners, organic shapes and soft silhouettes. In an architectural world full of hard angles and straight lines, embrace the softness and whimsy that curves bring to an environment. You can add subtle curves or bold waves, either way you can’t go wrong with the look. As June draws to a close, we’re back on the adventure to see all of the curvy designs we’ve featured this month. Press play on our latest Good Times Jams Spotify Playlistand enjoy all the curve appeal.

Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist Aimée Wilder has just launched her own art line, called Shadow Wildling.
