The Eileen Gray E1027 Side Table
If you could design a perfect side table, what might it be? You’d no doubt want it to be great looking, with sleek, modern lines, and made from the finest materials. It would be nice if it were easily portable and usable in a variety of settings – next to an armchair in the living room, perched by the bedside, even perhaps outdoors on a terrace. And wouldn’t it be cool if the table were adjustable, so that it could be raised or lowered depending on where and how it was being used? And for that matter, what if it could walk over to the fridge and grab you a beer? Obviously we’re getting a little over the top with the walking and beer procurement. But the point is that Eileen Gray’s E1027 side table was designed to do everything else. And what’s even more amazing? This miraculously modern table was created over 80 years ago.

Eileen Gray
You have to love a designer who bases her best-known piece on a beloved character from the world of advertising. Yet that’s exactly what Eileen Gray did when she designed her voluptuous leather and tubular steel Bibendum Chair, named for the similarly voluptuous and curvaceous Michelin man.
Read the full profileThe Full Story
Designed in 1927, the height-adjustable, chrome and glass E1027 is one of Eileen Gray’s most rational designs, reflecting her desire for pure, functional perfection. In this case, the desired function was to provide a convenient spot for Gray’s sister, who loved breakfast in bed, to set her bedside tray. Gray’s original table was just one of the furnishings she designed for her famous E1027 house overlooking the Mediterranean. Like the others, it languished in near-obscurity until the late 1960’s, when the all-but-forgotten designer came into vogue again and her best-loved pieces put back into production.
Even over the course of the past 40 years, there has not been a table designed that matches the elegance and versatility of the E1027. It remains an easy and affordable way to add a true design classic to almost any home. The only question is, where will you put it? By a favourite chair? Next to your bed? At the office? When a table has as many uses as the E1027, the only solution may be to buy more than one.
