Willo Perron 2024
The Perron Pillo Sofa challenges preconceptions. What appears to be a freestanding stack of oversized pillows is, in fact, engineered to offer lounge-like support for sitting, curling up, and stretching out. Creating a sofa that’s evocative and inviting was integral to designer Willo Perron’s approach. “Everything I do has a bit of humor in it,” he says. “I wanted the sofa to evoke surprise and emotion.”
The form of the Perron Pillo Sofa evokes curiosity, but its all-encompassing comfort feels familiar and welcoming. With deep seats designed to be sat in, not on, this comforting refuge beckons you to jump in and relax. Like magic, it's a ‘basket of pillows’ that makes you forget the piece and just enjoy being in it.
The Perron Pillo Sofa is designed to adapt. The individual modular components can be combined in countless ways and reconfigured as needs and locations change. Select from two depths to match the size and function of your space—Standard is smaller and more upright, while Deep offers a more lounge-like sit. When it comes to upholstery, Pillo’s simple construction welcomes a variety of textiles—making it a showcase for the customer’s creativity. Says designer Willo Perron, “It’s a choose your own adventure experience.”
Willo Perron is a multidisciplinary designer who brings an unconventional twist to everything he creates, whether it’s a set design, retail rebranding, or residential interior. The same is true for his approach to furniture. His modular Pillo Sofa Collection is both intriguing and inviting. “I wanted to create this really simple, big gesture,” says Perron, “like a bunch of pillows stacked on top of each other.”
