Smoking Table, Eileen Gray, circa 19229



By 1929, Eileen Gray becaome involved in total planning, creating buildings and all the furnishings for them. Although some of her work was solidly Art Deco, she also designed in the International Style like her friend Le Corbusier. This sleek little table was designed by Gray with Jean Badovici for a house called E-1027 at Roqueburne. The tubular steel or brass stem on one side allows the table to be used as a bed tray for breakfast; the height of the glass top is adjustable. The small chain and the broker-circle base add visual interest.
