A Vintage Icon Reborn: The Michelin Drum Stool
Celebrate over a century of automotive history with the Michelin Drum (Stool). Handcrafted by the French duo Guillaume & Anthony, this “Little Tonelet” captures the nostalgic charm of classic French service stations. Featuring a unique aged patina and the legendary Michelin branding, this piece combines the rugged spirit of the industrial era with the playful energy of Pop Art.
Retro Aesthetics Meets Modern Functionality
Designed as both a decorative masterpiece and a functional piece of furniture, this keg comes equipped with a comfortable blue padded seat that perfectly complements the iconic Michelin colors. Whether used as a side table in a “Man Cave,” a stool in a retro-themed bar, or a statement piece in a creative office, it brings a sense of authenticity and “Bibendum” history to any space.
Artisanal “Aged” Finish: No Adhesives Used
Although designed to look like a vintage find, every keg is brand new and has never been used for industrial storage. The weathered effect is meticulously achieved by hand using professional acrylic techniques. As with all creations from Le Bidon Français, no stickers or adhesives are used; the logo and the “aged” textures are 100% hand-painted, ensuring a high-quality finish that will not peel or fade over time.
Limited Edition & Custom Craftsmanship (1/8)
Part of a strictly limited run of only 8 units worldwide, each stool is a unique fragment of industrial art. Signed and numbered by the artists, it is a must-have for automotive enthusiasts and collectors of French heritage art.
Exclusively available at Art de Vivre Gallery, North Palm Beach. Delivered with a Certificate of Authenticity. Its compact size and bold vintage blue seat make it the perfect functional accent for collectors who appreciate art with a soul
