This summer, garden furniture is all about going with the flow. One-size-fits-all rectangular forms and bulky square designs, once the default for outdoor spaces, are giving way to gentler, more organic silhouettes. Whether you’re stretching out by the pool or lounging on a balcony, doing so on curved outdoor seating will ensure you’re relaxing in style.
These fluid shapes reflect an open, languid approach to summer living — something we’ve noticed more widely across this year’s outdoor furniture trends, too. "Nature itself rarely works in straight lines, so it’s no surprise curved pieces sit so comfortably outdoors," suggests Nick Woodhouse, creative director of gardens at Woodhouse & Law. "We’re letting down our symmetrical, formal, and ordered guard and are now taking inspiration and comfort from nature."
