(less) angular
Explanation:
Snobbish writing by those high-end designers, using "argumentos" in a geometry vocabulary to say the much simpler word "ângulos"

See:

http://geometriaexpert.blogspot.com.br/p/quais-sao-os-tipos-...
O ângulo Θ(Theta) que é medido a partir eixo x positivo, seguindo em sentido anti-horário, é chamado de argumento de um complexo.

http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumento_(matemática)
Em Matemática, o argumento de um número complexo é o ângulo formado entre o complexo como um ponto e o eixo das abcissas no plano de Argand-Gauss.

The furnishings were not the minimalist modern contemporary styles so popular in the 90's. The pieces were **less angular** and had a slight curvature. Many of the pieces included wood structures with curved lines, but sharp edges similar to the Naguchi table design.
