Curved-Front Cabinet-on-Stand

by Bob Mckee

Curves can really make a difference.  There is a visually captivating feature that is embedded in this work.  With substantially rectilinear projects we see, use, and make, when curves emerge, it produces higher brain activity.  Many a scholarly paper illustrate the difference in acceptance between angular objects and curved objects.  There’s something soothing about seeing curves.  It seems hard enough to ensure all rectilinear furniture is square.  So, it’s not surprising to appreciate curves in furniture.
