  • SCHMIDT leads the rise in curved design – leaving straight lines behind for softer, more harmonious interiors

    London – 10th June 2026. Once synonymous with the architecture of the 1930s and the flourishes of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, curved lines are making a striking comeback in interior design. More enveloping, more organic, and unmistakably elegant, curves bring a new sense of flow to living spaces. True to its vision of interiors that are both beautiful and built around real life, Schmidt has been championing this shift since 2025, bringing curved design into every room of the home through spaces where form and function move as one.

    Drawing on its French craftsmanship and deep expertise in bespoke design, the brand creates interiors that adapt to any layout. Kitchen, living room, dressing room or bathroom: the curve becomes the defining thread, connecting spaces into something cohesive, refined, and entirely personal.

    An artistic vision of design, in collaboration with Lemon Studio

    In its collaboration with Lemon Studio, Schmidt explores a particularly sophisticated interpretation of the curve. Rooted in the language of Art Deco and Art Nouveau, this space plays with sculpted volumes, sinuous lines, and layered perspectives to create an atmosphere that sits somewhere between interior architecture and art installation. Sky blue tones, deep browns, and touches of gold work in dialogue with noble materials and enveloping forms — striking, yet with an underlying softness. A statement project that shows how bespoke design can turn an interior into a fully immersive aesthetic experience.

     

    Curve Collection: curved design as a whole-home signature

    With the Curve Collection, Schmidt makes the arc a design statement in its own right. In an interior built around deep bordeaux tones, an open-plan kitchen flows naturally into the living space, anchored by gently curved TV units and bookcases. The language of the curve continues through to the bedroom with a Peach dressing room in warm, soft hues, and into the bathroom where rounded volumes create an immediate sense of comfort and calm. More than an aesthetic choice, curves here actively shape the way a space feels; easing movement, softening sightlines, and drawing each room into a natural conversation with the next.

    Firenze: organic elegance inspired by material

    With Firenze, Schmidt offers a more contemporary, mineral-toned take on curved forms. A generously curved central island becomes the centrepiece of this kitchen, where warm wood meets the quiet luxury of travertine. Soft lines contrast subtly with the richness of the natural materials, composing a space that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. A true demonstration of the brand’s bespoke expertise, Firenze shows how custom design can balance beauty, warmth, and spatial intelligence — all while responding to a growing desire for interiors that feel more fluid and more calming.

    The curve: a defining signature of contemporary living

    Across these projects, Schmidt demonstrates its ability to translate emerging design trends into interior solutions that are elegant, practical, and built to last. By softening volumes, improving flow, and adding an emotional dimension to a space, curved lines have become one of the defining signatures of contemporary home design. A trend the brand continues to reinterpret through its bespoke expertise and French craftsmanship — creating interiors that are unique, considered, and made to endure.
