Bibendum Chair, Black Premium Leather

Mid-century Modern Bibendum Armchair

In 1924, Eileen Gray unveiled the Bibendum Chair, drawing inspiration from the Michelin Man. This unique design serves not only as a statement piece but also offers unmatched comfort. Its plush tube-inspired back and armrests create a cozy seating experience.

The Creation of the Bibendum

Eileen Gray's Bibendum Chair reflects her pop art interpretation of the Michelin Man. Diverging from her typical style, this chair is a blend of whimsy and classic design. It features a proportionate structure perfect for lounging. The frame is reminiscent of the Eileen Gray 1027 Table. Our reproduction closely mimics the original's dimensions and craftsmanship with a solid wood seat frame, chrome-plated stainless steel base, and cushions wrapped in premium leather.

Premium Leather Quality

A small fraction of global leather meets the high-quality standards of 100% Top Grain Aniline upholstery. Aniline Dyeing involves immersing hides in dyes to allow natural color penetration. This leather breathes well, providing a comfortable and natural feel.

Top Premium Leather

Top Grain Aniline leather, representing a mere 5% of the global supply, offers unparalleled softness. This leather is both vat-dyed and topically treated for everyday durability, maintaining its premium look over time with minimal maintenance.

To explain the difference, Split Grain lacks the genuine surface texture of Top Grain due to a topical pigment layer that mimics real leather appearance. Top Aniline is upgraded from this lesser quality.
