Frequently Asked Questions

Who originally designed the Eileen Gray Day Bed?

The Day Bed was designed by Eileen Gray, the Irish-born architect and designer, in the 1920s. It emerged during her transition from ornamental lacquer craft toward a disciplined modernist vocabulary influenced by the European avant-garde.

What materials is the ClassiCon Day Bed made from?

The frame is constructed from chromium-plated steel tubing. Upholstery is available in a choice of fabric or leather, allowing the piece to adapt to different interior contexts while retaining its essential geometric character.

How should the Eileen Gray Day Bed be positioned in a room?

Gray conceived the piece as a freestanding object with an open form on all sides. It is best positioned away from walls so its full silhouette remains visible and the proportional balance of the frame can be appreciated from every angle.

Is the ClassiCon Day Bed an authorized reproduction?

ClassiCon produces the Day Bed under license and in close reference to Eileen Gray's original drawings, maintaining dimensional and material fidelity to the 1920s design.

What design period does the Eileen Gray Day Bed represent?

The Day Bed is a product of early European Modernism, a period in the 1920s when designers across France, Germany, and Britain were exploring the formal and social possibilities of industrial materials such as bent steel tubing. Gray's version is distinguished by its attention to bodily comfort alongside geometric rigor.
