petite coiffeuse table
by Eileen Gray from Classicon
petite coiffeuse table
Design Eileen Gray, 1929
Chromium-plated steel tubing, MDF
Made in Germany by Classicon
Eileen Gray understood how to combine aesthetics with the practical as few designers did. The geometrically structured mirror Castellar and the "Small Dressing Table", both designed for her summerhouse E1027, are proof of this. The drawers in the small side box of the Petite Coiffeuse swivel out. Everything is reduced to the essentials, but it all is within easy reach.
In the 1920's and 30's, Irish artist Eileen Gray was one of the pioneers who created what we now call modern design. The lone woman in this pioneering Valhalla, her name is pronounced in the same breath as Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer. Her tubular steel furniture was revolutionary in its day, and is now accepted as classic. In the second stage of her creative career, Eileen Gray switched to architecture and continued producing masterpieces. She was an artist of epoch-making significance. Her career culminated in 1972 with her appointment by the Royal Society of Art in London, as Royal Designer to Industry. And her legendary Adjustable Table E 1027 has been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1978.

Petite Coiffeuse dressing table consists of a chromium-plated steel tube frame and table-top and suspended box with two swivel out drawers and one door.

Eileen Gray
Eileen Gray was one of the pioneers who created what we now call modern design. The lone woman amongst her peers, her name is spoken in the same breath as Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Marcel Breuer.
At ClassiCon you will find innovative furniture that has the courage to depart from familiar ground. Some pieces carry big names and can look back on a proud design history while others are at the beginning of writing their own stories.
