In both senses. I really like it, but think I would have introduced some warm colors, maybe in the furniture? Either way, great design.

It is a novel way to cover the mechanicals but not a true representation of a "wave". A better description might be "...in the form of curves" Curves may be uniform in one dimension or another, as in this case, but waves are not uniform, they fluccuate. (They cresendo and diminish, in other words.) For this application to be a true "wave" form it should rise at some point and fall at some point. (Though that could be slightly unsettling through the course of a meal with appropriate wine choices.) A "wave" soultion it is not, a nice, soothing "curvy" solution it is.
