Fun Historical Fact: The bow-front shape seen here was inspired by the aerodynamic lines of post-war automobiles and jet planes, which heavily influenced furniture design in the 1950s and ’60s. Designers of the era believed that even living room furniture should look like it was built for motion , giving everyday objects a subtle sense of speed and optimism.
