Eileen Gray Bibendum Chair A Classic of Design

21 November 2009

The Eileen Gray bibendum chair has a history as long and storied as the chair itself is broad and portly. The chair was introduced in 1929 and it was named after the Michelin man. One look at the chair will tell you why: it looks just like the Michelin Man sat down and opened his arms. It is today, one of the most widely recognized chairs designs in the world, and its designer the most celebrate female designer of all time. The chair is the very picture of whimsy, with overstuffed cushions and a seemingly too-frail frame, but it is also comfortable and inviting. And functional. The whimsy of the chair design belies the fact that it took more than four years to design.
