organic shapes
Flowing, irregular contours
Organic shapes are irregular, curved forms that suggest natural objects—leaves, clouds, cells, bodies—rather than geometric precision.
The term appears in art and design contexts, contrasting with the hard edges of squares, triangles, and circles: The architect softened the building's facade with organic shapes.
Also called biomorphic shapes.
