Knoll's 'Biboni' Sofa: A Blend of 1970s Icons and Michelin Man Inspiration
Architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee discuss the design of the 'Biboni' sofa, which draws inspiration from 1970s icons and the Michelin Man, also known as Bibendum.
The design process involved brainstorming names, eventually merging 'Bibendum' and 'Macaroni' to create 'Biboni'. The sofa collection 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.
The 'Biboni' collection includes two-, three-, and four-seaters, as well as sectionals with chaise options, offering a range of sophisticated furniture pieces.
