Eileen Gray underscored the character of her endearing parlour lion with twinkling irony, she named Bibendum lounge chair after the Michelin man, whose form this armchair calls to mind.
It`s comfy, it`s curvy, it`s even downright friendly – just like the Michelin man it was named for. Sitting in Eileen Gray`s Bibendum Chair is kind of like getting a hug that doesn`t stop until you get up. The comfortable, cocoon-y feeling is a direct result of the chair`s construction. Its back and arm rest are fashioned from two semi-circular padded tubes covered in the softest leather.
