Eileen Gray - Day Bed Roquebrune - 1925

product description

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.

Dimensions: 190 x 85 x 41 cm ( W x D x H )
