Occasional Table
Made by Classicon
Designed by Eileen Gray
Eileen Gray designed the Occasional Table in 1927 for E-1027, the villa she built on the French Riviera that became one of the defining statements of European Modernism. The table was conceived as a practical gesture: a surface that could be raised or lowered, positioned over a bed or beside a chair, adapting to the rhythms of daily life without sacrificing proportion or poise.
Its tubular steel base curves with an economy of line that feels as considered today as it did nearly a century ago. The circular glass top sits lightly above the structure, allowing the architecture of the base to read clearly from every angle. Classicon produces the table in faithful accordance with Gray's original specifications, available in chrome or a range of lacquered finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Occasional Table and when?
Eileen Gray designed the Occasional Table in 1927 as part of her furnishings for E-1027, a villa she designed on the French Riviera. It remains one of the most recognized objects of the European Modernist movement.
How does the height adjustment mechanism work?
The table uses a sliding tubular steel column that can be raised or lowered and locked at the desired height. This allows the table to serve equally well beside a chair or positioned over a bed or sofa.
What finishes are available for the Classicon Occasional Table?
Classicon offers the tubular steel base in polished chrome as well as a selection of lacquered color finishes, allowing the piece to read as either a quiet complement or a deliberate accent within an interior.
Is the Classicon version an authorized reproduction?
Yes. Classicon holds the official license to produce Eileen Gray's designs and manufactures the Occasional Table in close adherence to her original specifications and proportions.
What is the cultural significance of the E-1027 villa?
E-1027, completed in 1929, is considered a landmark of European Modernism and a rare example of a building conceived entirely by a woman architect at that time. Gray designed the structure, its interiors, and its furnishings as a unified whole, and the Occasional Table was integral to that vision.
