Eileen Gray Roquebrune Chair


For the terrace of her second house in Castellar Eileen Gray designed a very comfortable chair with a deep seating area. It was covered with blue canvas. She created another version, this one for interior use, that was identical in the lines but was finished instead in leather. And thus “Roquebrune”, another design classic from the 30’s, was born.
