The Bibendum armchair by Eileen Gray is considered one of the most extraordinary pieces of furniture of the Bauhaus and Modernist eras. Its striking design, with its lavishly upholstered, ring-shaped backrests, is reminiscent of the curved shape of a Michelin Man—hence the name "Bibendum."
Designed in 1926, the armchair combines radical design, luxurious comfort, and timeless elegance. The characteristic leather or fabric upholstery envelops the sitter like a soft cushion, while the chrome-plated steel frame ensures stability and lightness.
The Bibendum armchair is not just a piece of furniture, but an iconic statement of modern design that finds its place in exclusive living spaces, lounges, or prestigious offices. Thanks to its soft upholstery, it offers an unparalleled seating experience – ideal for combining art, architecture, and a luxurious lifestyle.
