| Villa E.1027 – A masterpiece of architecture that would make Le Corbusier pale with envy

Eileen Gray strives for a comprehensive interior concept in her various designs. She showed her ability as early as 1919 when she renovated Mrs. Mathieu Levy’s flat in Rue Lota and continued her creative path when she designed the iconic Villa E.1027 in 1929. Eileen Gray wanted her architecture to be more than just functional buildings – she wanted them to be alive and to appeal to people’s senses as well as their minds. Wall quotes such as ‘Défense de rire’ (Laughter forbidden) or ‘Entrez lentement’ (Enter slowly) were intended to reinforce this idea and encourage visitors to become more aware of their surroundings. Le Corbusier, increasingly envious of Gray’s work, painted murals on several walls of the house without her consent – an act that many saw as an attempt to appropriate her work. Ironically, Le Corbusier died in 1965 while swimming just a few metres from Villa E.1027.

| THE ORIGINAL – Adjustable Table E1027 by Eileen Gray

The Adjustable Table E1027, designed in 1927, is characterised by its tubular steel structure, its light weight and its flexibility – a true icon. Eileen Gray originally designed the height-adjustable side table for her sister, who loved to eat breakfast in bed but disliked the mess of crumbs. As she also used the table in her villa on the Côte d’Azur and needed protection from the salty sea air, she developed a version with a matt black powder coating to prevent rusting. Today, the chrome version in particular delights design enthusiasts worldwide and is one of the most copied designs in the world.

| Things must not only look right, they must also feel right.”

Eileen Gray continued to paint her entire life – a whole series of carpet gouaches and collages on paper from the 1920s and 1930s bear witness to this. When designing carpets, Eileen Gray not only considered the graphic dimension, but also the thickness of the carpets: the type of yarn, the origin of the wool and the weave played an essential role. These aspects make Eileen Gray’s rugs key elements of interior design, which also applies to her screens.

| Eileen Gray never belonged to any movement. In fact, she was always doing her own thing

Whether Eileen Gray was exploring lacquer art in Paris, discovering weaving in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains with business partner Evelyn Wyld or questioning the relationship between body and space while designing furniture and interior design projects. Throughout all her life, Eileen Gray was driven by the search for the complete work.

| From lacquer art to non-conformist artist – the journey of the self-taught designer and architect Eileen Gray

Eileen Gray began her career as an artist in lacquer art, which she perfected in Paris and with which she gained international recognition early on. Her passion for research and innovation led Eileen Gray to invent unique new colours, particularly her now famous blues. But it was her constant search for innovation that led her to turn to furniture design and architecture as a self-taught designer.

Café Caillou in Lyon is inspired by Albert Frey’s Californian houses and creates an environment where minimalism meets pop. The chrome-plated Adjustable Table makes an expressive statement between the sophisticated choice of colours and the other pieces of furniture.

| Eileen Gray (1878 – 1976) – From aristocratic family to design icon

Eileen Gray comes from an Irish-Scottish aristocratic family and began her artistic career by studying painting at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. She is considered one of the most important designers of the early 20th century and her design and architectural theories have influenced our concept of living. As a key figure of modernism, she is still mentioned today in the same breath as Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer.

TALIESIN® is a reproduction series of lighting fixtures designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The original was a pendant lamp created by Wright for the architectural space of Taliesin, his home and studio in Wisconsin, USA. It consisted of a wooden box and a light-shielding plate. Wright adapted this design into a light sculpture to suit various spaces. At the time, each Taliesin lamp was crafted to the perfect dimensions of its intended space and handmade from locally sourced wood.

The vertical light emitted from the multiple blocks covering the lamp reflects off the light-shielding plate, creating a comfortable and beautiful indirect light. The light-shielding plate can be freely installed above or below the blocks. The support section is adorned with Wright’s favourite “Cherokee Red,” except for certain colour variations.

is the official licensee of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in the United States and is responsible for reproducing this series of lighting fixtures.
