About the eileen gray table
Courtesy of her father, in 1898 at the age of twenty, Eileen Gray attended classes at the Slade School of Fine Art, where she studied painting. She was one of the first women to study there. A brilliant formal play on the concept of asymmetry, Gray’s Nonconformist chair displays her sense of irony, while her famous side eileen gray table — also asymmetrical — displays the rational principles of modernism that increasingly defined her work. Eileen Gray used Menton in the high position as a dining table, in the low position as a side table on the terrace and also as a coffee table in the guest room.
