PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Authorised by The World Licence Holder Aram Designs Ltd, London
This is perhaps the classic among the classics. Its ingeniously proportioned, distinctive form has made this height-adjustable table one of the most popular design icons of the 20th century. It is named after the summer house E 1027 ‘Maison en bord de mer’ that Eileen Gray built for herself and for her collaborator, Jean Badovici. The secret code-name likewise comes from her: E is for Eileen, 10 for Jean (J is the 10th letter of the alphabet), 2 for B(adovici) and 7 for G(ray).
Adjustable base of chromium-plated steel tubing. Tabletop of clear crystal or smoked glass or black lacquered metal.
