Quick answer: Curved furniture has no sharp corners to bump into, so people move around it more easily, and rounded shapes break up a boxy room. In small spaces a round coffee table, a console with soft ends and a desk with rounded corners make the room feel calmer and more open.
Coffee table
A round coffee table keeps walkways open.
Console
A sculpted console table softens a narrow entry.
