Eileen Gray E-1027 – The side table as an icon of modern interior design

E1027 Side table by Eileen Gray in chromed steel with glass top in modern living space

A table that made design history


Eileen Gray 's E-1027 side table is considered one of the most radical yet elegant pieces of furniture from the modern era. Designed in the late 1920s, it continues to represent functional design, architectural thinking, and a new freedom in living.


In contrast to the representative furniture of his time, Eileen Gray developed an object that adapts flexibly to the person – not the other way around.

Functionality as a design principle


A key feature of the E-1027 table is its height-adjustable tabletop , which can be effortlessly adapted to a sofa, armchair, or bed. The chrome-plated tubular steel frame lends the table both lightness and stability, while the clean geometry clearly reflects its functional design.


The E-1027 is not a decorative accessory, but a precisely designed piece of furniture for everyday use.
