California-based multi-disciplinary designer Willo Perron and Knoll unveil the Perron Pillo Sofa, a super comfortable sofa that translates the designer’s distinct perspective to an unexpected form—seemingly, a stack of oversized pillows—that offers unforgettable comfort.
“Everything I do has a bit of humor in it. I wanted the sofa to evoke surprise and emotion, ” says Willo Perron.
Featuring deep seats meant for sitting in rather than on, the sofa acts as a sanctuary, enticing you to sink in, nestle up, and unwind.
Pillo’s modular components offer endless possibilities for combination and rearrangement, while its straightforward assembly accommodates a range of fabrics, allowing customers to showcase their own creativity.
The Perron Pillo sofa’s design is totally different that the usual Knoll’s pieces of furniture.
“My style generally has a lot less structure, it contains more fluid and soft elements, which feels like the perfect contradiction to classic Knoll pieces,” says the designer.
“It creates an enriching conversation and harmonious synergy between the traditional and elegant Knoll style with my more contemporary style.”
