Story

Volumes, voids and curves

Knoll presents Biboni as a sofa shaped like Johnston Marklee's architecture, where space is organised into volumes, voids and curves.

Formal and welcoming

Knoll sets the lighthearted, bulbous shape against the formality of a scalloped silhouette and bespoke tailoring, and says the sofa becomes more animated as lighting conditions change and shadows shift.
