About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
The ClassiCon Bibendum armchair, designed by Eileen Gray, is a definitive icon of modernist furniture design. Characterised by its distinctive, voluminous silhouette, the chair draws inspiration from the famous Michelin Man, offering a striking visual presence that remains as contemporary today as when it was first conceived.
This specific example is upholstered in vibrant red leather, providing a bold contrast to the polished chrome tubular steel frame. The construction features a series of stacked, semi-circular padded rolls that form the backrest and armrests, enveloping a deep, comfortable seat. The frame bears the engraved ClassiCon mark and Eileen Gray signature, confirming its authenticity as an authorised production.
The armchair is in great condition, showing minimal signs of careful use. The leather remains supple and the colour vibrant, while the chrome frame retains its bright, reflective finish. The structural integrity of the piece is fully preserved, ensuring it remains a functional and highly collectible seating option.
Ideal for both residential and commercial interiors, the Bibendum chair serves as a powerful focal point in any room. It pairs exceptionally well with minimalist, modernist, or eclectic decor, bringing a touch of architectural elegance and historical design significance to a living space, study, or executive office.
