Knoll's 'Biboni' Sofa: A Blend of 1970s Icons and Michelin Man Inspiration

Architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee designed the 'Biboni' sofa for Knoll, drawing inspiration from 1970s design icons, including the Michelin Man, Bibendum, 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.

The 'Biboni' sofa collection features curves that envelop the body and a frame that appears to float, creating a sophisticated piece of furniture. The collection includes two-, three-, and four-seaters, as well as sectionals with chaise options.

Authors summary: Knoll's 'Biboni' sofa combines 1970s style with modern sophistication.
