Eileen Gray’s revolutionary tubular steel furniture has become a hallmark of modern design. Born into an Irish-Scottish aristocratic family, she studied architecture and design in London and Paris.

Her achievements include the iconic Adjustable Table E-1027 entering MoMA’s permanent collection and a major retrospective at the Centre Pompidou. In the 1970s, Gray partnered with Zeev Aram to bring her furniture, rugs and lighting into series production, with her designs later produced under license by ClassiCon.
