Lines, shapes and silhouette, as well as the color, influence the perception of what we see around us and determine our feelings towards the surrounding objects.
Smooth, round, oval or winding lines belong to the world of nature. They can be seen anywhere in the nature: the sun, the moon, mountains and hills, trees and rosebuds all have spiral lines and rounded shapes. Observing these objects makes us feel calm and peaceful. There are no straight lines and hard angles in the nature; they belong rather to the technological world created by humans. A chair, a table, a sheet of paper, and box-shaped buildings as a creation of modern architectural art – they all symbolize sensibility, logic, order and masculinity. Straight and angular lines, hard silhouettes are very monotonous and cause boredom, apathy, indifference and hopelessness.
