Eileen Gray conceived the E 1027 table in the late 1920s as a companion to the body, not merely to the room. Its cantilevered tubular steel base slides beneath a sofa or bed, and a key-lock mechanism holds the circular top at any chosen height. The gesture is quietly radical: furniture that adapts to the person, not the other way around. The design emerged from Gray's Villa E 1027 on the French Riviera, a building she treated as a total work of art. The table was never incidental to that vision. It was conceived to function with the precision of a tool and carry the presence of a sculpture.
