Table E 1027 is an adjustable steel and glass table designed by Irish designer Eileen Gray in 1927. Originally created for her E-1027 house, the table has since become one of Gray's most famous designs.[1] [2]
The table's adjustable arm and light weight make it flexible in function. It has been suggested that Gray originally designed the table for her sister, who ate breakfast in bed; by holding a dining tray above the bed, rather than directly on the bed, the spill of crumbs could be avoided.[3] [4]
Before her death, Eileen Gray sold the design to British furniture manufacturer Aram.
