Capturing the Flow

For whatever biological or sociological reason, human beings love curves. Modern, old modern, and post-modern furniture reflects that. No matter how many times angles and clean straight lines come into vogue, the curve remains extant. These chairs from Skandium illustrate this notion perfectly.

Form and function… the straight line and the curve… everything is balanced. Even the chairs themselves evoke feelings of balance, as the empty space that makes up so much of this beautiful furniture leaves the skeleton poised in mid-air. That said, these pristine and pretty chairs seem to hover around $300, depending on the options you choose, but I have a chair from Ikea that looks very much like these and it cost a whole lot less.
