Description
Designer Eileen Gray didn't want luxurious furniture for her house in Castellar, located on the road between Menton and the Alps. She preferred versatile products for everyday use. With the table basse design Menton, Eileen Gray achieved one of her most ingenious creations. By simply tilting the top, the table becomes either a high or low table. In her home, Gray used Menton in the high position as a dining table and in the low position as an occasional table on the terrace. She also placed one in the guest room to be used as a bedside table. The linoleum-covered top, black on one side and grey on the other, is fixed on a chrome-plated steel frame. Beech edges complete this elegant and practical piece edited by Classicon.

Eileen GRAY
Born in 1878 in Enniscorthy, Ireland, Kathleen Eileen Moray Smith (real name) began studying painting at the Slade School of Fine Art in London in 1898. In 1902, she took courses in Paris at the Académie Julian and then returned to London to continue her training in lacquer techniques. She moved to Paris permanently in 1907 and left painting to study lacquering techniques, in which she combined luxurious lacquer finishes with Art Deco furniture, moving on to tubular steel furniture from the 1920s onwards. Eileen Gray collaborated with great names in design such as Le Corbusier, taking part in the revolutionary movement that affected design in the 1930s. Later, her taste for architecture was encouraged by Le Corbusier, which led her to design two houses in the Alpes Maritimes. Today, she is one of the architects and designers who have left their mark on the world of design, as demonstrated by her creations that have become classics such as the Adjustable Table E1027 published by Classicon. She has also designed rugs with Art Deco motifs in association with Evelyn Wyld.
