Eileen Gray - Transat Chair 1927

The Transat chair is a striking icon of early modernist design, originally created in 1927 by Eileen Gray. Inspired by the deck chairs of transatlantic ocean liners, this piece is defined by its clean lines, functional elegance, and distinctive low-slung profile.

The frame is executed in tubular steel, paired with a luxurious cowhide (cow skin) sling seat and backrest, adding a unique, tactile quality to the design. The adjustable backrest enhances comfort and functionality, while the natural variations in the cowhide make each piece one of a kind. A true collector’s piece, the Transat chair embodies the spirit of avant-garde design from the interwar period.
