To celebrate the centenary of Eileen Gray’s Adjustable Table E 1027, ClassiCon revisits the design’s original material language with a limited anniversary edition.
Created in 1927, this ingenious side table was designed around a simple yet progressive idea: furniture should adapt to its user. Its height-adjustable tabletop and open, asymmetrical frame allow the base to slide beneath a bed or sofa, making it easy to position exactly where it is needed. The design is said to have been conceived for Gray’s sister, who enjoyed having breakfast in bed. Almost a century later, its thoughtful functionality remains just as relevant and relatable. For the centenary edition, the familiar chrome-plated frame makes way for one in nickel-plated tubular steel. A grey Parsol glass top completes the composition. Just 1,027 pieces will be available from December, each individually numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
