Original BTC Hector Bibendum Table Light
Sir Terence Conran's Hector Bibendum light, which has been designed to celebrate Original BTC's 21st birthday and the Michelin building's centenary, is a reinterpretation of a classic design by one of the greatest design gurus of our time.
Hector Bibendum, a fresh take on the Original BTC Hector light, takes its inspiration from the iconic Michelin man's layered tyre body while retaining Original BTC's signature cotton-braided cord.
"I have used Original BTC's classic lights for over 20 years." says Conran... It was a natural progression.
