This famous daybed is constructed of chrome and leather. Eileen Gray's designs made use of simple lines and shapes.

The Eileen Gray Daybed, along with the Bibendum Chair, is directly attributed to the work Eileen Gray accomplished while commissioned by fashion designer Suzanne Talbot for her Parisian apartment in Rue de Lota.

This project and her work with Talbot, also known as Madame Mathieu Lévy, is considered the turning point for Eileen Gray in her formal and expressive language. This Eileen Gray Daybed, though the contemporary design is a re-edition, is another example of Gray's opulent take on the stark modernist aesthetic.

Until her death, Eileen Gray was fairly unrecognized for most of her career, but is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th century designers and architects. Sofa-bed with chromed structure. Upholstered cushion covered in leather.

Born in Enniscorty (Ireland) 9 August 1878 - dies in 31 October 1976 in Paris


Eileen Gray was one of the leading designers working in Paris after the First Worid War. She popularised and perfected the art of lacquered furnishings, her preference for its meticulous finish revealing a penchant for out-of-the-ordinary materials, in particular those used in japanese decorative arts.

Gray's work found a valuable admirer in the 1970s (when She was in her 90s), in the figure of the American collector Robert Walker, who sparked something of a major revival of interest in her work and which led to some of her designs being mass-produced.

Somewhat overlooked by the design world until this time, Gray is now viewed as an important and influential designer of the early twentieth century. In 1972, she was selected as a Royal Designer to Industry by the Royal Society of Art in London for her services to design.
