Eileen Gray


Table réglable avec structure en acier chromé. Plateau en verre 5/6 mm. Histoire: Designed in 1927 by Eileen Gray. This table was designed by Eileen Gray as a bedside "breakfast table" for the guest room of E 1027, the villa which she designed with Jean Badovici at Roquebrunein 1927. Badovici, a roumanian intellectual, was a friend of Le Corbusier and apparently the person more responsible for convincing Eileen Gray to turn to architecture. He was editor of "l' Architecture Vivante" which published a special number on the house at Roquebrune entitled "E 1027 Maison en Bord de Mer". The name E 1027 was a cryptogram containing the initials of the two designers. The E was for Eileen. The numbers 10, 2 and 7 stood for the letters of the alphabet, J, B and G.
