Coyly named after the Michelin Man, sitting in the Eileen Gray-designed Bibendum chair is like being curled between the character’s giant fingers. The cushy, robust seat of the chair hides a beech wood frame with rubber webbing, and is covered in either leather or fabric. Its bold body maintains its boisterous stance atop slender, chromium-plated steel tubing. Playful and elegant, this chair works well in a variety of settings and is sure to incite some pleasantly curious expressions.
