Gray, Eileen

Description:

1878, Enniscorthy - 1976, Paris
70,5 x 167 x 78 cm
Table "Double X" , design of 1928. Execution: ClassiCon. Chromed steel tubes, crystal glass top.
Double X captivates with its classic interplay of parallel as well as crossed lines, while appearing wonderfully light despite its generous dimensions. Through the clear geometry of its purist design, it combines a highly modern design approach with the exclusive elegance of French Art Deco. At the same time, this versatile table embodies like no other piece the Irish artist, architect and furniture designer Eileen Gray, who became a pioneer of modernism in France in the 1920s.
