Ynez, Pesca, and Taylor are three of the curved collections Stellar Works builds, and no two take the curve the same distance. Pesca stops at a single swiveling seat. Taylor runs out to a full curved sofa. Ynez sits between them.

Yabu Pushelberg drew Ynez. Plywood frame, upholstered throughout, offered as a one-seater, a two-seater sofa, and an ottoman. The name reads as “Pure” in ancient Greek and the forms honor it. Rounded backs, continuous seams, no visible leg to break the profile. Spec all three formats together and a lobby reads composed instead of repetitive.

Pesca comes from Alessandro Munge, who took his cue from a peach. The one-seater sets a soft inner surface against a smoother outer shell, so the silhouette shifts as you move around it. Stitching does the shaping work here rather than seaming. A swivel base does the rest, which matters in a lounge or a reading corner, where fixed orientation is a liability.

Taylor returns to Yabu Pushelberg, and it is the one that scales. Left and right sofas, half backs, small formats, swivel one-seaters, a curved run. Upholstery sits taut across seat and back. The volumes stay tighter than Ynez or Pesca, which is the point. Curved sofas can go soft to the point of shapeless. Taylor holds its lines.

The commercial case runs across all three. Curved sofas break long sightlines and stage conversation without forcing it, which is why hospitality keeps coming back to them. They also earn their keep in odd floor plates, where a straight run of seating strands a corner. Cattelan Italia made the point this spring with Baldwin and Murphy. None of these three needs a straight wall to work against.
