9 Phoenix Lounge Areas Featuring Curved Furniture And Rounded Forms

Phoenix’s design scene is embracing the softer side of life with curved furniture making a huge comeback! Walking into these lounges feels like getting a warm hug from your space. Gone are the days of sharp corners and rigid lines; now it’s all about flowing forms that invite conversation and relaxation. Let me take you on a tour of my favorite spots where circles, arcs, and waves rule the roost.

1. The Circular Sanctuary at Valley Bar

Valley Bar’s underground lounge got a magnificent makeover last spring, and I’m absolutely smitten with their new ‘Orbit Room.’ Plush, crescent-shaped sectionals create intimate conversation pockets without anyone feeling left out of the circle.

The rounded brass tables gleam under the moody lighting, making every cocktail look Instagram-worthy. My friends and I spent three hours there last weekend, and nobody complained about uncomfortable seating once!

Pro tip: Reserve the corner moon-shaped booth for the best acoustics during live jazz nights.

2. Floating Bubble Chairs at The Pemberton

Holy moly, you haven’t lived until you’ve lounged in one of The Pemberton’s suspended bubble chairs! These transparent spheres hang from the ceiling like giant soap bubbles, complete with fluffy round cushions that make you feel like you’re floating on a cloud.

The outdoor patio arranges these orbs in a loose spiral pattern, creating a playful yet sophisticated vibe. I nearly fell asleep in one during a Sunday brunch; they’re that comfortable!

Weekends get busy, so arrive early to snag your own personal bubble of bliss.

3. Retro Curve Appeal at Century Grand

Century Grand’s cocktail lounge is serving major mid-century modern realness with their kidney-shaped sofas in the most delicious shades of burnt orange and teal. These curved beauties wrap around tulip tables, creating these perfect little social islands throughout the space.

I’m obsessed with how they’ve paired these organic shapes with the train-themed speakeasy vibe. The contrast is surprisingly cohesive! My martini tasted 37% better simply because I was perched on such a stylish seat.

Ask for Margot’s section; she knows all the furniture’s origin stories.

4. Cloud-Like Poufs at The Churchill

Whoever decided The Churchill needed an entire garden of oversized round poufs deserves a medal! These squishy circular seats in varying sizes create an adult playground in their community courtyard.

Unlike traditional seating arrangements, these poufs get rearranged constantly, creating new social configurations throughout the day. I’ve witnessed total strangers become friends just by sharing one of the larger poufs!

The neutral canvas covers handle Arizona’s sun like champions, and they’re surprisingly supportive for something so cloud-like in appearance.

5. Serpentine Seating at FOUND:RE Hotel

FOUND:RE Hotel’s lobby lounge features the sexiest piece of furniture in Phoenix; a 20-foot serpentine sofa that wiggles through the space like a velvet river. This sinuous beauty in deep emerald green creates natural conversation pockets without dividing the room.

Artists and creative types flock here to sketch and chat, inspired by both the rotating art installations and the sculptural quality of the seating itself. I’ve drafted some of my best design ideas while nestled in one of its curves!

The matching curved ottomans can be positioned anywhere along the sofa’s path.

6. Egg-Shaped Cocoons at Cambria Hotel Rooftop

Perched atop the Cambria Hotel, these egg-shaped wicker cocoons have completely revolutionized my rooftop lounging expectations! Each oversized pod comfortably fits two people and swivels 360 degrees, letting you chase the perfect sunset view or hide from that ex you just spotted.

The rounded shape blocks just enough wind while the open front welcomes the breeze. Last month I spent an entire evening curled up in one with a book and completely lost track of time.

They’re first-come-first-served, but worth the wait; especially at sunset.

7. Curved Banquettes at Pizzeria Bianco

Chris Bianco didn’t just revolutionize Phoenix pizza; he also created the most inviting curved banquettes in town! The Heritage Square location features these gorgeous half-moon booths upholstered in buttery leather that’s developed the most beautiful patina over years of happy diners.

These curved beauties somehow make pizza taste better (I swear it’s true). The intimate arc brings everyone closer for conversation while still giving plenty of elbow room for enthusiastic eating.

My favorite spot is the corner banquette with the curved window seat that lets you people-watch while staying cozy inside.

8. Futuristic Orbs at Bitter & Twisted

Bitter & Twisted’s recent redesign introduced these absolutely wild spherical booths that look straight out of a sci-fi movie! Each glossy white orb has a cutaway entrance leading to a circular booth inside, creating the ultimate private drinking experience.

The acoustics inside are fascinating; you can hear your friends perfectly while the surrounding bar noise stays muffled. I felt like I was sitting inside a cocktail bubble!

Each orb features color-changing LED lighting that you can adjust to match your mood or your outfit (priorities, people!).

9. Mushroom Stools at Linger Longer Lounge

Linger Longer Lounge wins the award for most whimsical seating with their collection of mushroom-shaped stools! These adorable round-topped perches with chunky cylindrical bases come in a rainbow of retro colors that pop against the dark walls.

They’re surprisingly ergonomic; the slightly concave tops cradle your bottom perfectly. The best part? They’re lightweight enough to grab and reposition for impromptu friend gatherings.

Owner Tracy told me they sourced them from a 1970s bowling alley in Tucson, which explains their indestructible quality despite years of cocktail spills!
