Bar Stool No. 2 is designed in 1928 by Eileen Gray for ClassiCon with frame sectional steel and floor base steel, lacquered in black or cream, two stainless steel bars, upholstery polyurethane with polyester fibre and quilting cotton, cover in fabric or leather, changeable gliders in felt or plastic.
Eileen Gray created not only classical seats such as sofas or chairs, but also a series of unconventional bar stools. Version no. 2, originally designed for the house E 1027, also featured in her Paris apartment in Rue Bonaparte. In her Provencal country home, Tempe ä Pailla in Castellar, she used a "Bar Stool" as a nonconformist seat at her draw- ing desk – another charming example of the versatility of Eileen Gray‘s functional design.
Eileen Gray’s achievement in design and architecture is considered pioneering work of Modernism. During her lifetime, she was honoured by the London Royal Society for Arts with the title Royal Designer for Industry, and she is one of few women mentioned in the same breath as Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer. ClassiCon produces her iconic furniture designs as the sole and rightful licensee worldwide, in coordination with Aram Designs Ltd., London.
