Occasional Table by Eileen Gray for Vereinigte Werkstätten, 1985
This side table is designed by Eileen Gray in 1927.
The Latin for furniture, res mobiles, is based on the word mobile. Eileen Gray took this very literally.
She loved light, functional furniture that could be moved around easily.
You can lift this table “for all occasions” as if it had a handle and carry it exactly to where you need it.
This occasional table is constructed asymmetric with a base that slides under the bedside or armchair.
The frame is made of chromium-plated steel tubing and the tabletops of MDF high-gloss broken white lacquer finish.
After being produced for several years under an Italian license, the German manufacturer Vereinigte Werkstätten, today known as ClassiCon, took on production of this table in 1983.
This table is in good vintage condition and marked.
