Knoll

Knoll seeks out and collaborates with the most creative and innovative architects and designers. That approach continues with the Biboni Lounge Chair by Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee of architecture firm Johnston Marklee. Capturing the spirit of their architectural work, Biboni relates to the human body by shaping space into volumes, voids, and curves.

Scalloped silhouette

Inherently anthropomorphic

The Biboni Lounge Chair 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.

A gracious host

Biboni is intimate in scale but generous in how it engages the body and relates to the objects around it. It’s especially striking when it can be seen in the round and becomes even more animated as lighting conditions change and shadows shift to reveal details in its form.

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.
