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 sofa collection, which includes two-, three-, and four-seaters, as well as sectionals with chaise options, features curves that envelop the body and a frame that appears to float.

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 design aims to balance comfort and sophistication.

Author's summary: Knoll's 'Biboni' sofa combines 1970s style with modern comfort.
