Knoll

Designed by Piero Lissoni in collaboration with Knoll, the Panoramic Sofa Collection has moveable backrests that allow it to take the form of a super chaise lounge, an island, a bench, a daybed or, naturally, an enticing sofa. The curved seat furthers its flexibility by offering myriad opportunities for relaxation and conversation. The lines of the sofa are refined and elegant with rounded corners that make it approachable from all angles.

Creates harmony

Knoll is rooted in the Bauhaus philosophy of “total architecture,” where furniture complements architectural space to create a harmonious design. The Panoramic Collection adapts to the space in which it is placed, without sacrificing comfort or elegance.
