Eileen Gray, 'Transat Chair', black lacquered frame with chromed fittings and black leather upholstery. Note: This piece dates from the 1990s when the chair was reissued in Italy. The original chair was used as a deck chair at the famous Villa E 1027 at Roquebrune Menton. It was originally registered under the name 'Transat' by Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici in 1927. The name Transat was used as an abbreviation for Transatlantic referring to steamship travel and the deck chairs commonly used on such ships. The Transat chair has become one of Eileen Gray's most enduring signature pieces. Literature reference: 1000 chairs. P.144
