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, inspired by 1970s icons and the Michelin Man.
The 'Biboni' sofa collection, designed for Knoll, features curves that envelop the body and a frame that appears to float. The collection includes two-, three-, and four-seaters, as well as sectionals with chaise options.
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 was influenced by 1970s design icons, Bibendum, and macaroni. The name 'Biboni' is a combination of 'Bibendum' and 'Macaroni'.
Author's summary: Knoll's 'Biboni' sofa combines 1970s icons and Michelin Man inspiration.
