AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original 24 cm plastic Michelin Bibendum
Iconic original plastic Michelin Bibendum, in a small format, dimensions 24 x 15 x 13 cm. The famous Michelin Man is here represented in a compact yet extremely faithful version, with his unmistakable rounded shapes, the hint of a smile and the classic diagonal belt with the inscription T.I.R. that crosses the chest. The elegant posture, with legs crossed and arms relaxed, gives the sculpture a friendly and distinctive character, immediately recognizable by enthusiasts of the brand.
Made of rigid plastic, it features a neutral finish that highlights the molded details: the folds of the “rings” that form the body, the defined hands, the stylized face with raised eyes and the benevolent expression typical of the character. The harmonious proportions and meticulous workmanship make it ideal both as a collectible object and as a decorative element for an office, workshop, studio or environment devoted to the world of motors and transport.
The compact size makes it easy to display on shelves, desks or display cases, while still maintaining a strong scenographic presence thanks to the iconic subject. A perfect item for Michelin collectors, lovers of vintage advertising and industrial design related to the automotive world.
Please look carefully at the photos as they are an integral part of the item description. Fast shipping with tracking code and careful packaging.
