Adjustable Table E 1027 Black
inspired by Eileen Gray

• Iconic design from 1927
• Distinctive and functional
• Height adjustable
• High-quality glass and black chrome

The Adjustable Table E 1027 Black is one of the most recognizable classics of the 20th century. The popular design was originally part of the furnishings at Eileen Gray’s holiday home E 1027, Maison en Bord de Mer, which she built for herself and her collaborator, Jean Badovici. The name is in fact a secret code-name she created: E is for Eileen, 10 for Jean (J is the 10th letter of the alphabet), 2 for B(adovici) and 7 for G(ray). This table was designed specifically for Gray’s sister, who enjoyed eating breakfast in bed. The proportionate table is height adjustable and its compact, symmetrical shape makes it an ideal addition to any room.

INFURN produces the popular design with a tabletop of clear glass and a black matt chrome frame.

Dimensions

Lauded as a pioneer of the Modern Movement in architecture and design, Kathleen Eileen Moray Gray was born into an aristocratic family near Enniscorthy, a market town in south-eastern Ireland. An artistic flair was encouraged by her parents at a young age and she was fortunate enough to travel with her father extensively on painting tours of Italy and Switzerland. Gray became intrigued by the Art Nouveau philosophy whilst studying at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. She was a huge fan of the work of Glaswegian Charles Rennie Mackintosh, an influence which is apparent within her pieces. Having spent the majority of her adulthood being influenced by her surroundings in Paris and southern France, Eileen Gray’s designs are considered as modern furniture classics. Vogue magazine and Yves Saint Laurent are noted fans of her work; whilst a piece designed by Gray was recently sold at auction in Paris for 21.9 million euros, setting a record for 20th century decorative art.
