Design Trend: The Arch

Finally, after years of square edges and clean lines, the design embraces its curves again. Learn more about this architectural element in trend.

Many of us already know them, in ancient times, the arch was used as a solid structure that served as a support for other elements in the construction of large buildings. This is how we see them in the construction of vaults, aqueducts and such extraordinary buildings as the Roman Coliseum, still standing.

Today, arches have resurfaced to add curves and sensuality and create organic forms amid the long-used straight and angular lines of our spaces; providing elegance and femininity and creating the necessary balance between modern and classic.

With this trend so marked today, we can find arches not only in the usual structural elements, but also in furniture, niches, openings, doors and windows, cladding and even painted, giving an elegant and seductive shape to the architectural space by providing it grandeur, while transforming it into a more interesting venue.

Here are some examples where the bow takes center stage, proving that it remains an avant-garde design element by remaining resistant to the test of time.
