Architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee designed the 'Biboni' sofa for Knoll, drawing inspiration from 1970s design icons, including Bibendum, the Michelin Man, and macaroni.
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 Johnston, the sofa's curves are designed to boldly envelop the body, with a frame that appears to gently float. The 'Biboni' collection includes two-, three-, and four-seaters, as well as sectionals with chaise options.
