Eileen Gray experimented with geometric forms and industrially produced materials. Why did Eileen Gray originally design her famous side table for her guest room?

1. because her guests' reactions determined her designs' appeal

2. because her guest room was to have a minimalist look

3. because her sister enjoyed breakfast in bed

Kathleen Eileen Moray Gray was an Irish furniture designer/architect & pioneer of the Modern Movement in architecture. Her circular glass E-1027 table & rotund Bibendum armchair were inspired by the recent tubular steel experiments of Marcel Breuer. The reason why Eileen Gray originally design her famous side table for her guest room is because her guests’ reactions determined her designs’ appeal. Hope this answers the question.
