Knoll’s newest collection is a collaboration with designer Cini Boeri. The collection features a lounge chair, sofa, and ottoman available in Knoll’s signature textiles. The covers are also changeable and optional throw pillows in two sizes can also be purchased to finish off the collection. I like the oversized ottoman — it can be used as additional seating or even as a coffee table.
