Helena Chair - Bibendum Style

Model number: A-SA-HELE

Base Price: $1,200.00

Availability: Black, white and red generally in stock, all other colors are
custom made and take between 6-10 weeks to deliver

Materials: Chrome plated steel base. Hardwood frame and sumptuous leather upholstery.

Product Description: Named after Michelin's mascot - Bibendum, (aka
the Michelin Man), Eileen Gray created this utterly unique design in 1926.

Characteristically this piece seems to offer no identifiable design lineage -
except perhaps to the Michelin Man himself, and to a bedside table that she
designed in the same year; Its circular top supported on a stand by a u-shaped
base, share some structural similarity with the chair.

The simple roundness of Bibendum's lines are in stark contrast, to the angularity
of many other Bauhaus era furniture designs. Comparing it to the Grand Confort
by Le Corbusier for example, it seems to be a playful almost ostentatious
response to the reserved pragmatism of her teacher's design.

Dimensions: W36 x D33 x H34 inches

Customer Service Reviews:

Hello ! Yes I did indeed receive the sofa and it arrived in perfect condition, thank you for your excellent service. Happy Customer, JR

Thank you very much for your quick response! It is rare to find customer service anymore. ER

We received our chairs on Friday. We love them.
I was impressed with the quality - I have seen far inferior imitations for more money.   You were very accommodating and helpful. It was a pleasure ordering from you.
If we have need, we would definitely order from you again.
Thanks again DG

I received the chair yesterday afternoon. Thanks again for your terrific service! Richard

Thank you for your kindness, thoroughness, and all around great attention THANK YOU!     KA

Thank you for great Customer Service!
Thank you, MS Springfield MA

Thanks again for your call yesterday and your response to my concern(s). I have to say that I wish all stores, webstores and customer service people were like you. You assuaged my concerns and I feel confident in the
possibility of making a purchase from your store. Thanks again.

p.s. - I write this because I used to be in a customer service job and I know how quick everyone is to complain. I truly feel that you went over and above today's mediocre standards and I wanted you to know how much I appreciated it. If you want me to send this to your supervisor or Manager, I gladly will.

Have a great day!
Kindest regards,

We received shipment and couldn't be happier with our new Barcelona's. They're perfect. It was excellent working with you. Thanks. JS.

I purchased the orange & chocolate brown Barcelona chairs for a hotel in Manhattan, KS about 3 years ago, then last year I purchased the lime green & cognac chairs for a hotel in Springfield, MO. They are fabulous chairs & still look as good today as when I unpacked them. I am also thinking of purchasing some more lime green chairs for Manhattan. Our guests love them, they are very comfortable & extremely stylish. Thanks, Bridget McC

Hi Judith, Just wanted to let you know that the chaise arrived from Italy and it is perfect! Thank you and your company so much for orchestrating and co-ordinating its production. It is fantastic and I paid $6000 less than what they charge for the "original" chaise. Just wanted to thank you and express my appreciation again.

Hello Jennifer
May I ask you a big favor please?
We are furnishing a house in New York and our client would love to see a picture of your chaises in a room setting.   We would love to see them in situ too!  Would that be possible?

Hi!!

Of course - we are away but can I get the picture to you Monday? Is that too late? I love the chairs! They are better than was pictured (on your website).
