Take a seat in the new Olio Sofa by Gibson Karlo and Christina Bricknell. Pairing soft sweeping modules with a tubular frame, Olio is an exercise in materiality and form with its distinct open structure. Coupling simplicity with support, Olio Sofa can be upholstered in a range of Kvadrat Maharam fabrics and is designed for both workspaces or living areas.

"Focusing on the organic contours of the human figure, Olio is designed to emphasise the relationship between form and support. The continuity of curved and cylindrical components provide a softly sculpted cohesion and playfulness that highlights an intricate yet minimal design."Christina Bricknell


"When developing Olio into a 2-3 seater, we really looked into the perfect distance for sitting two people who may not know each other or three who are happy to cozy up together – it’s a fine line!"Gibson Karlo

Focused on comfort, Olio features a generous, deep-set seat with a continuous two-level lumbar that envelops its user. A double layer of commercial-grade CAL 117 foam encases the structure for long-lasting comfort whilst the powder coated steel frame provides enduring stability.
