Curves are in our nature

For decades, scientists have been intrigued by the fact that humans seem to have an aesthetic preference for curves over straight lines. Why is this? Is it a learnt preference, or is it evolution?

Wool is a natural material that is durable and long-lasting, which makes it a great choice for furniture upholstery.
