Besides the cool factor, there are a couple practical elements to the curves. Since this is being designed for lasercut ply, the curves define the shape using the shortest possible line (laser cutting is priced by cut length). The curves also make it easier to finish the edges off. The intent is to wrap the edge of the piece with glass cloth (or your fabric of choice) and adhesive of choice. This is a powered remote controlled device hence the battery connection.
