Architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee designed the 'Biboni' sofa for Knoll, drawing inspiration from 1970s design icons, 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.
According to Johnston and Lee, the sofa collection features curves that boldly envelop the body and a frame that appears to gently float. The 'Biboni' collection includes two-, three-, and four-seaters, as well as sectionals with chaise options.
The name 'Biboni' is a curious merge of the words 'Bibendum' and 'Macaroni', reflecting the designers' eclectic influences.
