Australian furniture designer King Living has launched KING FreeForm, a new furniture line aimed at young professionals, renters and first-home buyers. FreeForm offers furniture that arrives quickly, adapts to modern spaces, and provides quality and comfort. The FreeForm Collection builds on 50 years of design experience from King Living, which began as a foam furniture company. Founded in 1977 by David King and his mother, Gwen King, the first King Living designs were made entirely from foam, a departure from traditional furniture at the time. David King’s approach to comfort engineering established King Living as one of the first Australian companies to explore the structural and aesthetic potential of high-performance foam, influencing flexibility, durability and comfort.

The collection features products with removable and machine-washable covers, bases crafted from 50 per cent post-industrial recycled high-density polyethylene, and compact delivery that reduces packaging waste.

“Our story began with foam furniture,” said founder David King. “In the 1970s, we were experimenting with comfort, flexibility, and form in a way that hadn’t been done before. Fifty years on, FreeForm carries that same DNA, reimagining foam once again to suit the way people live today.”

First launched in 1975, the sofa designed by Annie Hiéronimus was her quiet revolution: “soft where design was hard, sculptural where it was geometric, and enveloping where it was distant,” all of which people are on the lookout for in their furniture choices for 2026.

Back in 1975, Hiéronimus was the sole female designer at Ligne Roset’s design studio. While her colleagues were drawing straight lines and sharp angles, she was sketching curves. Made entirely of foam, Sandra wraps around the body “like a gentle embrace,” and celebrates comfort as something “vital and deeply human.” The workshop crew used to say, “if it was comfortable, it was Hiéronimus.”

Now reintroduced for a new generation, Sandra remains true to Hiéronimus’ original vision. It is flexible, plush, and inviting. It also integrates Ligne Roset’s expertise in all-foam seating, including multi-density foams for better support, a built-in lumbar cushion, and an ultra-lightweight construction that moves easily between spaces.

Ynez merges sculptural precision with elegance, and celebrates the harmony of form, function and craftsmanship. Drawing on the tradition of hand sketching and modelling, each piece showcases detailing, from sculpted wood transitions to linear frameworks and elegantly upholstered surfaces, which reinforce Stellar Works’ philosophy of balancing beauty, functionality and comfort across diverse hospitality environments. The Ynez collection showcases a sculptural line of sofas and ottomans that aim to foster intimacy and conversation. Whether positioned next to a fireplace, in a library, or as a highlight in a lobby, the various configurations of Ynez promote a cohesive aesthetic without redundancy, particularly in hospitality environments.

The playful curves aim to enhance the collection’s charm, while the sturdy, sculpted base offers a stable presence in any setting. The name “Ynez,” derived from the Greek word for “pure,” embodies the collection’s theme of romance and sophistication, which is reflected in its curves and soft geometric designs. The range includes small armchairs, two-seater sofas, and ottomans, balancing modern appeal with a hint of nostalgia.

Knoll has announced the North American debut of the Biboni Sofa by Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee of Johnston Marklee, extending its legacy of collaboration with architects and designers. The sculptural form of Biboni Sofa echoes Marklee’s approach to architecture, shaping space into volumes, voids, and curves. Plush scallops and soft folds are shaped into an anthropomorphic form that envelops and embraces the human body. Biboni is a design that is formal yet welcoming, and the sofa reflects a balance between formal and informal, which offers a combination of softness and support. Designed with an architectural mindset, every element of Biboni’s form was shaped to enhance its relationship to a surrounding space. Biboni also appears to hover lightly above the floor, and its contours are animated by shifting light throughout the day.

“There’s an elegance in how the sofa relates to the body,” said Johnston.
