The Tube Light, designed by Eileen Gray for ClassiCon, is an icon of minimalism and avant-garde lighting. With its cylindrical frame in chromed steel and the light source encapsulated in an opal glass tube, this floor lamp embodies the essence of functional and refined design.
ClassiCon
An internationally renowned company, ClassiCon re-edits great classics of modern design and at the same time promotes the production of new ones: furniture with a classic taste but at the same time with a look to the future. The brand stands for quality, individuality and a timeless taste, impervious to passing fashions. ClassiCon continually looks to new talented young designers such as Konstantin Grcic, with whom it has established a long and continuous collaboration.
Elieen Gray
Eileen Gray was an Irish designer and architect, as well as a pioneer of the Modern Movement in architecture. Born in Enniscorthy in 1878, she studied drawing and painting in London until she discovered her passion for lacquered furniture in a shop in Soho, which led her to move to Paris in 1907 to study with Seizo Sugawara, a Japanese master of the wood lacquering technique. Driven by her fellow architect Jean Badovici and Le Corbusier, Eileen began studying architecture in 1924: the result was her most emblematic work, Villa E-1027 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, on the French Riviera.
