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, Bibendum, and macaroni.

The 'Biboni' sofa collection features curves that envelop the body and a frame that appears to float, creating a sense of welcoming informality and precision.

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 design combines a sense of comfort with the elegance of a centerpiece.
