Irish
designer and architect Eileen Gray originally designed
luxury furnishings and decorative panels, produced lacquerware, and operated
her own shop in Paris. Her geometric work first appeared in the 1920s, with
designs featuring multifunctional, collapsible furniture in tubular steel,
glass, and painted wood.
She outfitted her own house with a number of furnishings
that remain popular today. Her famous adjustable table (see below) is represented
in the Museum's design collection. Together with her comfortable Bibendum chair
in Italian leather, her designs are renowned breakthroughs in the world of
modern classic furniture design.
