Inspired by the Michelin Man, the Bibendum Lounge Chair’s tubular backrest and armrests resemble the layers of the Michelin Man's body. This unique design provides cocooning support and comfort, while its refined appearance delivers visual harmony.

Archetype Forms Bibendum Lounge Chair

The original Bibendum Armchair by Eileen Gray gained significant attention in the 1960s after being featured in Domus magazine, leading to a revival of Gray's work. In 1972, Eileen Gray’s designs, including the Bibendum Chair, were unexpectedly successful at an auction of Jean Doucet’s apartment contents. The Bibendum Armchair has been displayed in several major exhibitions and various permanent collections, including the National Museum of Ireland in Gray’s home country.
