Large Vintage Set of Michelin Bibendum Logo Tiles in Ceramic, France 1960s
About the Item
Extremely rare and collectible, this large set of original French Michelin Man tiles from circa 1960 offers a striking opportunity to acquire an authentic piece of 20th-century commercial iconography and design history.
Featuring the iconic Bibendum (Michelin Man) in white against a rich cobalt blue glaze, each tile is crafted in ceramic with a glossy finish and defined relief work. The tiles were likely produced for commercial use—possibly for garages, promotional displays, or branded architectural installations—making surviving examples in quantity virtually unheard of today.
The set allows the buyer the creative freedom to decide how to arrange and display these tiles, as they are not glued together or affixed to any surface. Whether installed as a feature wall, kitchen backsplash, or framed as a modular artwork, these tiles bring a pop-art industrial aesthetic with rich cultural associations.
Michelin’s Bibendum is one of the world’s most recognizable mascots—a symbol of optimism, modernity, and mobility—celebrated by graphic designers, collectors, and industrial historians alike.
The tiles remain in excellent vintage condition with only minor wear consistent with age. All exhibit strong color and crisp imagery.
