Product Details
Materials & Finish
The Bibendum Chair features a polished chrome tubular steel frame, resistant to scratches and corrosion. Its distinctive backrest consists of two oversized, semi-circular rolls, heavily padded and upholstered in high-quality aniline leather. The seat cushion is equally padded with polyurethane foam, ensuring both resilience and comfort. The combination of steel structure and voluminous leather elements embodies Eileen Gray’s modernist approach to form and luxury.
The generously padded rolls provide enveloping comfort, adapting to the user’s posture while maintaining structural integrity. The deep leather seat offers firm yet resilient support. Despite its sculptural form, the Bibendum Chair remains functional for everyday use, combining luxurious comfort with modernist clarity. Its iconic design makes it both a statement piece and a practical lounge chair for private and public interiors.
Comfort & Functionality
The supporting frame is made from precision-bent tubular steel, welded and polished to maintain stability while retaining a light geometric appearance. The cylindrical leather rolls are mounted horizontally onto the frame and stitched with reinforced seams for durability. The seat and backrest are supported by concealed connections, keeping the chair’s sculptural design uninterrupted. Rounded edges and seamless joints enhance longevity and user safety.

Eileen Gray
Eileen Gray (1878–1976) was an Irish-born designer and architect, celebrated as a pioneer of modernism. Trained in painting at the Slade School in London, she later mastered lacquer work and furniture design in Paris. Her designs, such as the Bibendum Chair and the E-1027 adjustable table, showcased her innovative blend of elegance, comfort, and functionality. In architecture, her iconic seaside villa E-1027 reflected modernist ideals of open space and integration with nature. Long overlooked, Gray’s work was rediscovered in the late 20th century, affirming her lasting influence as one of the foremost women in modern design and architecture.
