angular design

Boxy, cornered look

Angular design refers to a visual or architectural style emphasizing sharp corners, straight lines, and geometric shapes rather than curves or organic forms.

The term applies across disciplines—from furniture and buildings to graphic design and fashion: The angular design of the chair made it striking but uncomfortable.

Angular designs often convey modernity, precision, or boldness.
