Product catalog summary

Introduction
Eileen Gray was an influential Irish artist and designer whose work spanned nearly a century. She is renowned for her pioneering contributions to modern design, being the only woman among notable designers like Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. Her innovative use of tubular steel in furniture design during the 1920s marked a revolutionary shift in interior design.

Architectural Contributions
Gray's vision extended beyond interior design to architecture. In 1926, she collaborated with Jean Badovici to build the beach house "E 1027" on the Côte d’Azur, a masterpiece of architectural avant-garde. She designed iconic furniture pieces for this house, including the "Bibendum" armchair and the "Adjustable Table E 1027," the latter being part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection since 1978.

Collaboration and Legacy
In the early 1970s, Gray partnered with Zeev Aram to bring her designs to the global market. She granted Aram Designs Ltd. the rights to produce and distribute her work. In 1972, she was honored as a "Royal Designer to Industry" by the Royal Society of Art in London. Gray passed away in 1976, but her legacy continues through ClassiCon, which produces her designs under authorization from Aram Designs Ltd.

Notable Achievements
In 2009, Gray's "Dragon Chair" sold for a record 21.9 million at a Christie’s auction, highlighting her enduring impact on 20th-century furniture design. Her work remains highly sought after, with ClassiCon ensuring each piece is an authorized original.

Product Range
The document lists various furniture and lighting designs by Eileen Gray and other designers, detailing dimensions and production years. Notable pieces include the "Day Bed" (1925), "Bibendum" (1929), and "Tube Light" (1927). The collection is characterized by originality and formal perfection, with potential to become future classics.

NON CONFORMIST 1926 Eileen Gray (1878 - 1976) The Irish artist's life spans almost an entire century, but her name will always be linked with the birth of modern design. Eileen Gray was one of the pioneers. She was the only woman in the circle of the brilliant new designers Mies van der Rohe, Le Courbisier and Marcel Breuer. She may even have been 'the most talented of our generation', as Renͩ Herbst would later say. When we think of Eileen Gray, we think first of all of her fantastic creations in interior design. In the 1920s she was among the first to astonish the public with furniture made...
