The Knoll x Perron Pillo Sofa: Could Life Be a Cloud?
Super plush, forgiving sofas are dominating the stage right now, the bigger the better, in our opinion. The Perron Pillo Sofa, by designer Willo Perron for Knoll, is a beautiful example of this, resembling a stack of pillows placed together to foster a joyous, playful space. This is a modular, customizable piece, available in two-, three-, and four-seater options. Mix and match modules for a sectional that can grow and change with your family over time. A modern delight, the pitch of the seat and minimal hardware offers a relaxed, lived-in look, perfect for any cozy interior.The modules of the Perron Pillo Sofa come together naturally, relying on repetitive stacks of robust pillows to flatten the overall form, yet still retain definition. Shown here in a cream linen to accent the shape, the entire Knoll library is at your disposal, adding to the incredible amount of customization available here. With the regularity and refined simplicity of the modules, two depth options are available to suit any home. Choose between Standard, with a more upright pitch, or Deep, with a lounge-like feel.The impeccable craftsmanship and quality we can expect from Knoll is brought to life by Perron, who excels in creating beautiful projects with a twist. Everything I do has a bit of humor in it, he says. I wanted the sofa to evoke surprise and emotion. Indeed, the sofa commands attention, but in a cheeky manner. The pillow fort has matured, and its cleaned up rather nicely.Willo Perron is a multidisciplinary designer, aiming to bring an unconventional twist to every project. From the runway, to high-end retail, to set design, his approach is unique, taking on a sense of simplistic elegance that is clear throughout his work. Leaning in to the silliness that the design process can sometimes provide (in an otherwise relatively serious industry) is brave, and ultimately, a refreshing respite from a turtlenecked establishment.Indeed, Knoll has always promoted this type of dynamic thought in the industry, from Hans founding vision, eventually to Florence. A titan within the industry, Florence Schust Knoll was already established as a respected architect when she joined the company. With skilled Bauhaus training, she considered the total work, and was one of the first to proudly credit designers for their pieces. This was way ahead of its time, promoting a distinctive respect between producer and designer that shines through Knolls company culture to this day.For more on the Perron Pillo Sofa, visit dwr.com.
