Eileen Gray E1027 Side Table

E1027 
Plenty of side tables have this minimalist combination of chrome and glass, but this is the original Eileen Gray E1027 Side Table, a true design classic.

It shares its name with the summer house Eileen Gray built for herself and her collaborator, Jean Badovici. The name is a code for their relationship; E for Eileen, 10 for Jean (J being the 10th letter of the alphabet), 2 for Badovici and 7 for Gray. The table is adjustable so it can be moved into various positions and uses. The frame is always made from chromium-plated steel, but the table tops are available in crystal clear glass, smoked glass or black lacquered metal.

Prices range from £575 to £685 from Aram.

eBay watch: 1950s midcentury-style side table

Midcentury_table

Love this design – and right now, this 1950s midcentury-style side table isn't any money.

Details are scarce (manufacturer and wood type for example), but thankfully there are large images, showing off that really smart abstract design on the table's surface. Below that are three angles legs, with a 'protective band' around the edge of the table.

Condition is described as 'excellent' with 'only slightest wear'. If that's fine with you, the table is currently at just £9.

Sentou Edition 1950s-style Lalinde side table

Lalinde

No, this isn't (as far as we know) a vintage design, the Sentou Edition Lalinde side table is inspired by, rather than reissued from, the 1950s.

Love those tapered, midcentury-style angled legs, as well as the bold colours on the lacquered surface, which is available in 'round' or 'bean'. If you fancy something toned down, there's also a natural wood finish in the range.

Available online, prices start at £153.
