Eileen Gray's Modern but Feminine Bibendum Chair

The Eileen Gray Bibendum Chair, designed in 1929, is a fabulous modernistic chair whose design originates from the character created by Michelin to sell tyres. Since it burst back onto the fashion scene in the early 1970`s it has been a fashion icon in the world of furniture. Eileen Gray is a name closely tied to women`s dignified entrance into the male-dominated design world.
