Non Conformist

by Eileen Gray

Seating Furniture, Chairs

It piques and provokes what one might expect of it, and yet it is inexplicably aesthetic and harmonious - a nonconformist on velvet paws. Eileen Gray commented quite pragmatically on her work with typical understatement: "An armrest was omitted in order to leave the body more freedom in movement and to allow it to bend forward or to turn to the other side unrestricted." Seldom was a nonconformist more ready to talk.

Frame of chromium-plated steel tubing. Seat has a beech frame with rubber webbing. Upholstery: Polyurethane with polyester fibre. Cover in leather.
