"The concept of comfort is different to all of us. Sights, sounds, and shapes - usually from our childhood - evoke a specific feeling of warmth and security from within us. Some of these shapes are agreed upon and some are indelibly unique, making us who we are. The Biboni Sofa, by Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee of Los Angeles-based architecture firm Johnston Marklee for Knoll, plays upon the former, creating a feeling of envelopment, cushy and inviting, for whoever might need a seat."
"Biboni is where sofa meets Michelin man, generous forms stacking neatly on top of each other, arms opening outward for a friendly embrace. Almost cartoonish in its expectant stance, the perfectly symmetrical capsules of color align with ease, retaining a sophistication that elevates the space yet retains that level of comfort evident within the design. Biboni's embrace of fullness and the nature of stacked forms is also expressed in its scalloped edges where cushions press down on one another, heavy yet simple."
The Biboni Sofa uses generous, stacked, capsule-like cushions to create an enveloping, cushy seating that feels both playful and sophisticated. Rounded, scalloped edges show cushions pressing into one another, producing heavy yet simple, puffy folds that relate elegantly to the body. Arms open outward for a friendly embrace while symmetrical forms align with ease to elevate a space without sacrificing comfort. Multiple sizes and sectional configurations allow personalization, including left- and right-facing chaises and a variety of two-, three-, and four-seat options. Hidden feet make the sofa appear to hover, lending visual weightlessness despite its fullness. Coloring is described as nuanced, offering bold pigments and refined finishes for adaptable styling.
