Eileen Gray Lounge Chairs

Irish, 1879-1976

Designer, artist and architect Eileen Gray was one of the most fascinating creative figures of the 20th century. Her body of work includes lustrous lacquered pieces — her Dragons chair set an auction record for modern furniture ($28 million) at the 2009 sale of the Yves Saint Laurent estate — and sleek chrome furnishings that rival the work of Le Corbusier and the members of the Bauhaus as exemplars of pure, modernist design.

The independent and unconventional daughter of Irish landed gentry, Gray studied painting at London’s Slade School of Fine Art in her early twenties before moving to Paris in 1906 to pursue her artistic dreams. Gray had become captivated by lacquerware after seeing an exhibit in the Victoria & Albert Museum, and in Paris persuaded an expatriate Japanese master of the painstaking process, Seizo Sugawara, to teach her. Within a few years, Gray had become known among the cognoscenti for her sculptural lacquered furnishings, which she incorporated into the homes of interior design clients.

Gray was ever evolving as a designer. By the early 1920s she was creating geometric works that embodied the essence of Art Deco and the nascent modernist design movement. Some pieces — such as her Bricks screen, an assemblage of pivoting rectangular panels — employ the planar forms favored by Gerrit Rietveld and other De Stijl architects of the Netherlands. Others feature the tubular chrome framing used by Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. These include the Bibendum chair — named for the resemblance of its semicircular back and armrest to the character known in English as the Michelin Man — and the adjustable E 1027 side table, conceived in 1927 for the interiors of a stark white villa she designed for herself in the South of France.

Never a self-promoter, Gray drifted out of the limelight in the 1930s. Interest in her work was revived in the early ’70s, however, when the estates of her early clients came to auction. Her original lacquer pieces are the most coveted, but, as the sale of the Dragons chair shows, are rare and extremely expensive.

None of Gray’s designs were made in large numbers until, a few years before her death, she granted a production license. These pieces range in price from $1,000 to $2,500, depending on furniture type and condition. Gray’s work has become iconic of practical and elegant modernist design. Yet, as you will see on 1stDibs, many of her creations have a simplicity that makes them welcome even in a traditional setting.

Modernist Red Leather Lounge Chair Eileen Gray Bibendum Armchair Deco MCM 1980s

By Eileen Gray

Located in London, GB

A gorgeous, rare and strikingly attractive Bibendum chair in lovely vintage condition. Designed by Modernist pioneer Eileen Gray exactly 100 years ago and likely made around the late-1980s, this iconic and sumptuously comfortable Bibendum chair in dazzling red leather will add super quality, fabulous colouring and a stunningly eye-catching Modernist aesthetic to any interior. Frequently cited as one of the most important chairs of the 20th Century, with Gray as one of the century’s most influential designers, her 1926 creation, the Bibendum chair, is an enduring and timeless design icon. A landmark piece of Modernist design that beautifully bridges Art Deco and Modernist aesthetics, this sculptural armchair is instantly recognisable for its bold form and welcoming appeal. Composed of extremely well padded and stacked cylindrical cushions, which wrap around the generously sized seat to offer both visual impact and enveloping comfort, this super Bibendum chair is upholstered in a rich and vibrant red leather, enhancing the design’s wow-factor and adding super vintage fascination. The voluminous seat is set on a slender polished tubular chrome base, which contrasts perfectly with the substantial red leather above. All in all this armchair is a super example of an iconic, enduring and boundary-breaking design, which will add comfort, colour, quality and wow-factor to any setting. Photographed here with a 1970s Belgian tiled, chrome coffee table and a 1960s Danish tiled, teak nest of tables.
