What does Chubby design consist of?
Chubby design: what it is
Chubby Design, which recently arrived in Italy, is distinguished by the elimination of angles and straight lines in furniture, giving way to curved lines, rounded shapes and very bright colours or pastel shades.
Definition and characteristics of a trendy design
The term Chubby is literally the definition of something round, soft, enveloping, in a seductive and appealing way. The word Chubby entered the world of interior design as a counterpoint to the angular linearity of modern design.
Chubby design responds to modern minimalism with its round, prosperous shapes and sinuosity. Precisely because of these particular characteristics, the Chubby design brings to mind the round, generous shapes of the propitiatory statuettes of primitive civilisations, as if they were a tribute to primordial art and the nature that surrounds us.
Chubby Design in interior design
Chubby design is an enveloping, cosy, comfortable design that almost conveys the security of a hug. This explains why Chubby Design is the perfect style for those who want to get in touch with their tender, childlike side.
In essence, it is a furnishing style created to give lightness, cheerfulness and warmth. Chubby-style furniture and decoration complements can be easily and harmoniously adapted to a wide variety of furnishing styles.
The rounded Chubby design in the modern home
In the home, a touch of Chubby style can soften the room. Chubby design furniture is the perfect solution for softening the rigid linearity of the modern style. A modern, minimalist style environment can be enriched and softened with Chubby touches through the insertion of soft, rounded armchairs, through the choice of sinuous and warm decorative accessories.
The Kernel ottoman by Bonaldo has a modern look with a Chubby design, characterised by soft, rounded lines. Upholstered in various finishes, it is easily adaptable to various modern furnishing styles: the ideal solution for those who love the modern home with a refined and extremely personal character.
Chubby softness in the classic style home
One or more pieces of furniture with a Chubby flavour can surprise within a more traditional style context, such as the classic style. The elegant and refined atmosphere of the home will be enriched by the liveliness of ‘soft’.
The Nest Soft armchair by Désirée is enveloping in a soft and comfortable shell. The metal frame in matt gold or matt bronze finishes almost seems to lift it off the floor. It is upholstered in fully removable fabric or leather. The gold finish and the numerous covers available make it perfect for a more traditional yet characterful ambience.

The Chubby in the Nordic or industrial home
The Nordic style is particularly suited to Chubby furniture. Here light tones and wood are the undisputed protagonists: the softness of a pouf, the sinuosity of a vase or a rounded lamp can add character to the context.
For industrial style environments characterised by solid and geometric natural materials such as stone and wood combined with iron, an accessory with a Chubby design, i.e. soft and generous, can soften the rigidity of the context by softening the atmosphere that sometimes appears cold due to materials such as glass and metals.
The Nest One armchair by Désirée re-proposes a “family nest” in its particular form, a typically Chubby design. Capitonné work characterises the inside, while externally the armchair has a smooth surface. A satin-finished tubular steel structure suspends the shell for a unique and eye-catching overall effect. The materials (leather and steel) are perfect for an industrial-look environment.
