Straight lines and harsh edges, once dominant in minimalist design, are being softened by rounded forms, which evoke a more human, tactile experience. This is most evident in interior spaces, where there's a growing trend toward curves and soft, sophisticated lines, bringing a sense of fluidity and calm to create an environment that feels organic and inviting.
In the bathroom, gentle curves and soft lines contribute to a more harmonious aesthetic, and Meir’s latest ranges, Curvaé – a bathroom accessories range that epitomises the shift towards biophilic curves – and Öppen – a range of cabinet handles and knobs showcasing Nordic minimalism – are the perfect examples of the trend towards a softer aesthetic. To learn more about these ranges, we spoke to Meir’s founder, Rick Bazerghi, who shares how Curvaé and Öppen bring a tactile, sophisticated touch to bathroom spaces.
The movement towards curves in interiors is not just about style—it’s about function and emotional impact. Curved surfaces and soft silhouettes can make even smaller spaces feel more expansive and welcoming, shares Rick.
“From softly rounded towel rails, sleek, curved shower shelves and elegant towel hooks, Curvaé combines beauty and practical design with enhanced functionality.”
Within the Curvaé range, there’s a shower shelf perfect for a stylish bathroom storage solution; a towel rail available in single and double options featuring a curved profile that perfectly complements contemporary bathrooms; a practical and attractive toilet roll holder; and Curvaé robe hooks, ideal for elegantly hanging robes, towels, and accessories.
“The idea behind Curvaé was to create a simple yet sophisticated range that can be seamlessly integrated throughout the bathroom space so that every aspect of the bathroom can feature elegant curves and a harmonious feel,” shares Rick. “The range features a simple wall mounting system and easy installation, too.”
Öppen is Meir's long-awaited cabinet handle range, inviting users to embrace the simplicity and elegance of Scandinavian design.
“Inspired by Nordic minimalism, Öppen offers a seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics, complementing all colours and products in the Meir range,” shares Rick.
The cabinet handles are available in Round pull, T-pull, Knob, and Edge-pull designs so that they’re able to be incorporated cohesively throughout bathroom spaces. Brushed and linear knurled surface finishes give the handles tactility, complementing a range of contemporary architectural styles, while five colour options mean you can match them to any interior.
The round pull cabinet handles are available in a range of sizes and feature a cylindrical shape with a linear finish for a sleek look, while their smooth surface offers a contemporary feel. The T-Pull cabinet handle option is designed for a unique aesthetic, and its ergonomic shape allows for effortless use. Suitable for both vertical and horizontal mounting, a brushed or linear-knurled finish complements contemporary interiors.
For smaller drawers or cabinets that don’t need substantial handles, the Öppen knob cabinet handle offers the perfect solution due to its compact design, which is space-efficient while maintaining a streamlined and elegant aesthetic. Completing the range is the Curva Edge-Pull cabinet handle, which is available in multiple sizes to suit various cabinet dimensions.
The comprehensive Öppen range suits all architectural styles and can be integrated into most bathroom designs, shares Rick.
“Whether you're designing a new or upgrading an existing bathroom, the meticulously crafted Öppen range offers both beauty and functionality while elevating any interior with understated elegance.”
