FROM UNCONVENTIONAL TWISTS on traditional lounge chairs to sofas that wind and wend with organic curves to bold, anything-but-basic benches, manufacturers and suppliers are finding inspiration in shapes.

Furniture continues to evolve into functional works of art more each year, designed to encourage conversation and gathering with modularity top of mind – e.g. lightweight, recyclable high-density polyethylene, slim silhouettes or an all-foam construction that makes a piece easy to move.

High-profile collaborations with storied architects and design firms remain a trend, with relaunches of iconic and coveted classics now available to all.
