Product catalog summary
Overview of Eileen Gray's Contributions to Modern Design
Eileen Gray, an Irish artist, is renowned for her pioneering role in modern design, particularly in the early 20th century. She was the only woman among the leading designers of her time, such as Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. Gray's work in interior design, especially her use of tubular steel in furniture, was revolutionary and her designs are now considered classics.

Architectural Innovations
In addition to her contributions to furniture design, Gray ventured into architecture. In 1926, she collaborated with Jean Badovici to build the beach house 'E 1027' on the Côte d’Azur, which is celebrated as a masterpiece of architectural avant-garde. For this house, she designed iconic pieces like the 'Bibendum' armchair and the 'E 1027' adjustable table, the latter being part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection since 1978.

Collaboration and Legacy
In the 1970s, Gray worked with Zeev Aram to bring her designs to a 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 at the age of 98.

Continued Influence and Market Presence
Gray's designs continue to be produced and marketed by ClassiCon, authorized by Aram Designs Ltd. Each piece is marked with her signature and a serial number to ensure authenticity. Her work remains highly valued, as evidenced by the record auction price of her 'Dragon Chair' in 2009.

Eileen Gray (1878 – 1976) Das Leben der irischen Künstlerin spannt sich nahezu über ein gesamtes Jahrhundert. Ihr Name wird aber für alle Zeiten mit der Geburtsstunde des modernen Designs verbunden sein. Eileen Gray gehörte zu den Pionieren. Sie war die einzige Frau im Kreis der genialen neuen Designer wie Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier oder Marcel Breuer. Sie war vielleicht sogar ‚die Begabteste unserer Generation‘, sagte René Herbst später einmal. Eileen Gray – da denken wir zunächst an ihre fantastischen Kreationen im Wohnbereich. Sie war eine der Ersten, die in den 20er Jahren mit Möbeln...
