Continuous corners
Some objects feel stable. Others feel resolved.
Often, the difference comes down to how two straight lines meet.
At a right angle, the obvious solution is to round the corner. It works, but it creates a break, a moment where the geometry changes abruptly.
A continuous corner does something else.
It eases the transition gradually, allowing the surface to flow rather than snap. The result is subtle, but it changes how the object sits in space and how it is perceived.
A continuous transition
This approach has been used quietly for decades.
Sony applied it to the Trinitron. Apple has used it across hardware and software for years.
It is not complex to execute, but it requires intention.
Templates. Testing. Adjusting by eye. Refining until the curve feels inevitable rather than applied.
The goal is not decoration.
It is stability. Calm. A sense that nothing is fighting the form.
One curve, not two radii
The same principle applies beyond physical objects.
Icons, masks, interface elements, anywhere geometry guides perception.
When corners are treated as part of the whole rather than an afterthought, the result feels considered. Not louder. Just better resolved.
At Bionic, these decisions are rarely visible on their own.
But together, they shape how an object feels every day.
