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

Architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee designed the 'Biboni' sofa for Knoll, drawing inspiration from 1970s design icons, Bibendum, and macaroni.

Their goal was to transform the Michelin Man's curves into a sophisticated piece of furniture. The result is a sofa collection with bold, enveloping curves and a frame that appears to float.

The "Biboni" has a chubbiness that feels welcoming and informal,' says Johnston. '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 configurations to suit different spaces.
