In recent years, curved wood has emerged as one of the most coveted design elements in Parisian interiors. Far from being a simple aesthetic trend, curved wood represents a refined architectural approach — one that softens space, elevates craftsmanship, and introduces movement into the home.
At Costaud Rénovation, a high-end renovation and bespoke joinery atelier in Paris, curved wood has become a defining feature of our made-to-measure creations. Whether through custom furniture, architectural elements, or complete interior transformations, curved wood embodies the harmony between artisanal expertise and contemporary design.
What Makes Curved Wood So Valuable in Parisian Interior Design?
Curved wood — also known as bent wood — is a highly technical craft that allows natural wood to be shaped into fluid, continuous forms. This makes it ideal for elegant, architectural expressions in Paris apartments, boutiques, and professional spaces.
A Parisian Aesthetic: Soft, Organic, and Timeless
Parisian interiors often combine historical heritage with contemporary refinement. Curved wood enhances this duality:
It softens classic Haussmannian lines
It pairs beautifully with mouldings, arches, and existing woodwork
It creates warm, sculptural silhouettes without overwhelming the space
From a curved headboard to a sweeping banquette, curved wood introduces a sense of movement and calm, echoing the fluidity of Art Nouveau and the minimalism of modern design.
Perfect for Small Parisian Spaces
Parisian apartments are known for their constraints — narrow entryways, angled walls, irregular volumes.
Curved wood provides practical advantages:
It improves circulation
It hugs architectural irregularities
It creates built-ins that maximize every centimeter
It eliminates sharp edges in tight spaces
A curved wood niche, arched doorway, or rounded cabinet can transform a cramped interior into a functional, elevated environment.
Fully Made-to-Measure: A Bespoke Luxury
Every curved wood creation crafted by Costaud Rénovation is entirely bespoke.We design and fabricate:
Custom curved wood furniture (banquettes, bookcases, consoles)
Curved wood interior doors with or without glass
Architectural arches and rounded wall structures
Curved wood counters for boutiques, cafés, or reception spaces
Decorative panels and sculptural elements
Each piece is produced in our Paris-area workshop using advanced bending techniques adapted to the project’s radius, wood species, and finishes.
How Curved Wood Is Made: A Paris Craft Rooted in French Artistry
Curved wood requires precision, experience, and a deep understanding of materials.
At Costaud Rénovation, our artisans use several methods depending on the desired curvature:
Steam Bending
Wood is softened with heat and humidity, then gently shaped over a mould.This technique is ideal for elegant, continuous curves.
Laminated Bending
Thin wood layers are glued together around a curved form, ensuring perfect and lasting stability.This method is perfect for thicker or structural pieces.
Mixed Techniques for Complex Designs
Some bespoke elements — such as curved door frames or sculptural furniture — require hybrid methods to achieve both precision and durability.
The result: perfect curves, seamless surfaces, and long-lasting resistance.
