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

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.
