Linee morbide e di design

I always have a way of getting around this, but I wanted to hear your thoughts on how to translate "di design" when it comes to a product description.

Explanation:
"Sleek" is another word that comes to mind. A pity you don't have a picture - can you request one? To me "di design" means everything and nothing the way it's used here, whereas if you had a picture it would help you decide what the most appropriate adjective is.

Buon lavoro!
