Knoll's 'Biboni' Sofa: A Blend of 1970s Icons and Michelin Man Inspiration
Architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee of Johnston Marklee designed the 'Biboni' sofa for Knoll, drawing inspiration from 1970s design icons, Bibendum, and macaroni.
- The 'Biboni' sofa collection includes two-, three-, and four-seaters, as well as sectionals with chaise options.
- The design features curves that boldly envelop the body and a frame that appears to gently float.
The "Biboni" has a chubbiness that feels welcoming and informal. It also has the precision and purity of a centrepiece in a room.
According to Sharon Johnston, the 'Biboni' sofa balances informality with precision, making it a unique piece of furniture.
