Bibendum Black Leather Chair
Iconic Bibendum lounge chair originally designed by Eileen Gray in 1926, a landmark piece of early modernist design.
This sculptural chair is instantly recognizable for its bold, architectural form composed of stacked, cylindrical cushions that wrap around the seat, offering both visual impact and enveloping comfort.
Upholstered in black leather with a rich patina, the chair shows natural wear consistent with age, including light creasing and surface marks that add character.
The polished tubular chrome base provides a striking contrast to the soft, voluminous upholstery and reflects Gray’s pioneering use of industrial materials.

A true statement piece, the Bibendum chair bridges Art Deco and modernist aesthetics and remains one of the most celebrated designs of the 20th century—perfect for collectors and design-focused interiors.
The design was influenced by the then famous 'Bibendum' Michelin Man of inflated tyres, which remains Michelin's trade mark. She was also jesting that this was her response as a feminist to Le Corbusier's 'Grand Confort'.
