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' collection features two-, three-, and four-seaters, as well as sectionals with chaise options, characterized by bold curves and a floating frame.
According to Johnston and Lee, the name 'Biboni' is a merge of 'Bibendum' and 'Macaroni', reflecting the sofa's unique design.
Author's summary: Knoll's 'Biboni' sofa combines 1970s icons with modern sophistication.
