The Bibendum armchair designed by Irene Gray was designed by Gray in 1929. It can be regarded as a classic and is one of the most famous furniture designs in the 20th century. The name of this personalized chair comes from Michelin Baby, the mascot of the French Michelin Tire Company. The shape of the Bibiden chair designed by Gray seems to be enclosed by tires, which is exactly in line with the circle of Michelin Baby. The shape, so it is named "Bibiden" chair. The frame of the bibiden chair legs is made of chrome-plated stainless steel pipes. The two semicircular shapes of the backrest and armrests are made of leather and sponge, which are soft and comfortable.
In the life of Irene Gray, she never married and dedicated her life to design. However, it was not until the 1970s that her talent was recognized by the design industry, especially her attainments in lacquer art, furniture and interior decoration, which reflected the bold chivalrous pride and permeated the unique tenderness of women.
