Morphology
The meaning 'furniture characterized by sharp, geometric shapes' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'angular' (having distinct corners) with 'furniture' (items that furnish a space). This adjectival modification follows standard compositional patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Angular furniture comes from a clear picture: angular means having straight lines and sharp corners, and furniture means chairs and tables. So angular furniture refers to pieces that look 'sharp' and use straight shapes, which is why people use the phrase to describe a 'modern' look.
