Few pieces carry the cultural weight of the Eileen Gray Day Bed. Conceived in the spirit of the early twentieth-century avant-garde, it distills Gray's singular ability to reconcil e strict geometric discipline with an almost sensuous ease. The form is open on all sides, inviting approach from any angle, and rewards every perspective with the same considered balance of line and proportion. The frame is constructed from chromium-plated steel tubing, a material Gray embraced for its precision and its refusal to accumulate visual mass. At 190 centimeters in length, the piece requires a room generous enough to let it breathe, positioned away from walls so its silhouette remains fully legible. Frame in chromium-plated steel tubing Upholstery available in fabric or leather Open form, designed to be viewed from all sides Produced by ClassiCon under license, faithful to Gray's original drawings Eileen Gray first developed the Day Bed in the 1920s, during a period when she was moving from lacquerwork toward a rigorous engagement with the Modernist vocabulary emerging across Europe. The piece belongs to that rare category of design objects that have never required reinterpretation, only faithful reproduction. Show more
