Biboni Sofa
Summary
The Biboni Sofa from Knoll was designed by Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee of architecture firm Johnston Marklee. A study in volumes, voids, and curves, the sofa mirrors and thereby welcomes the shape of the human form. It’s both soft and supportive and holds the body in a relaxed yet mostly upright position. The Biboni Sofa brings visual and physical comfort to homes, lounges, and reception areas.

Pleasing juxtaposition
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.
Johnston Marklee
Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee founded their Los Angeles-based architectural firm Johnston Marklee in 1998. Curvature and scalloped forms are native to their work, which includes the celebrated Vault House in Oxnard, California; Pavilion of Six Views in Shanghai, China; and the Dropbox Global Headquarters in San Francisco, California.
