Sofas That Embrace: 5 Designs with Curved Silhouettes

Sofas shaped by gentle curves echo this feeling particularly well. Studies in design psychology show that rounded forms are instinctively perceived as more welcoming and reassuring. They soften the visual environment, reduce tension and create a sense of visual comfort, encouraging both the body and the mind to fully unwind.

A hypnotic curve draws the eye through its refined, sculptural form. Sonora’s cohesive silhouette is defined by a sloping backrest that flows seamlessly into the armrests, creating a sense of continuity and calm. The contrast between rounded and square cushions introduces rhythm and character, adding a subtle playfulness to the composition.

This compact, C-shaped sofa is designed for more intimate living spaces. A low backrest, gently curved base and generously soft cushions come together to form a balanced, expressive profile where every detail is shaped around comfort.

Sandy is instantly recognisable thanks to its expressive silhouette. A smooth, continuous backrest wraps around the seat and forms the armrests as a single, unified element. Subtle asymmetry brings a sense of movement, while slender legs visually lighten the structure, giving the sofa an elegant presence despite its generous volume.

Jenner’s defining feature is its gently sloping backrest, forming a wave-like line that unites the entire composition. This flowing gesture softens the proportions and creates an inviting sense of ease. With the addition of a corner unit or chaise, the sofa transforms into a cocoon-like zone of comfort.

Its curved form feels more welcoming than traditional corner sofas, while the flexible configuration allows it to adapt to larger living areas. A central module makes it possible to arrange the sofa along a radius, softly zoning the space and defining the living area without rigid boundaries.

Stella is defined by its continuous curve — a silhouette that feels calm, balanced and quietly confident. The sofa’s low, flowing backrest follows the natural line of the seat, creating a soft enclosure without visual heaviness. Upholstered in tactile fabric, Stella brings a sense of stillness to the interior, where comfort is expressed through proportion, texture and restraint rather than excess. Its sculptural form allows the sofa to anchor a space while remaining visually light, making it equally suited to open-plan living rooms and more intimate settings.
