Since its founding, Knoll has sought out and collaborated with the most creative and innovative architects and designers. That tradition continues with the Biboni Sofa by Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee of architecture firm Johnston Marklee. Capturing the spirit of their work, Biboni relates to the human body in the same manner as their architecture, shaping space into volumes, voids, and curves.

The Biboni Sofa welcomes the human form with puffy folds precisely placed to envelop and embrace the sitter. It’s both soft and supportive, holding the body in a relaxed yet upright position. On one hand, the bulbous shape of the Biboni Sofa is lighthearted and welcoming. On the other, its scalloped silhouette and bespoke tailoring give it a formality and timelessness akin to that of a Chesterfield sofa.

Three new fabrics have been introduced specifically for the Biboni Sofa.

The seat features a frame made of wood and wood derivatives, padded with flexible polyurethane foam of varying densities for optimal comfort. The upholstery is lined with polyester fibre, while the top layer is a non-removable bi-stretch fabric. The backrest and armrests have a metal structural core, padded with flexible moulded polyurethane foam and finished with the same non-removable bi-stretch fabric. The feet are equipped with plastic glides to ensure stability and floor protection.
