Christchurch-based interior designer Angelique Armstrong notes that curves are coming back in architecture as well as sofas: “I love curved sofas, especially when centred in a room. They have a slightly romantic or whimsical feel, and this is where you can have a bit of fun with colour and texture in upholstery.”
