Building obsession: Michelin House

London is a city full of beautiful architecture. Ever since I was really young riding around London in the car with my dad, there have always been certain buildings and structures that have really captured my interest because of their beauty. Michelin House is one of them.





Located in Chelsea, London, Michelin House was commissioned by the Michelin brothers in 1909 and designed by one of their employees - François Espinasse, for their British headquarters, it is a great example of Art Deco architecture. It was bought in 1985 by Sir Terrance Conran and Paul Hamlyn.

More information can be found on the Bibendum website - here. Bibendum is the real name of the brand trademark, more commonly known as "Michelin Man".
