Product description
Beautiful Eileen Gray 'Monte Carlo' sofa in black leather. This edition, made in the 1980s, is from the Vereinigte Werkstätten in Munich.
This company was later acquired by Classicon.
My grandmother purchased the sofa directly from the Vereinigte Werkstätten in Munich in the 1980s. She later gave it to my mother.
The Monte Carlo sofa (also known as the "Monte Carlo" sofa) is an iconic piece of furniture designed by Irish designer and architect Eileen Gray (1878-1976). The design originally dates from around 1926-1929.
Here are the key facts about the connection between the Monte Carlo sofa, Eileen Gray, and the Vereinigte Werkstätten:
Design and Form
Design: Eileen Gray designed the sofa, which is characterized by its organically curved shape, offset seat, and backrest. Features: It is considered one of Gray's most exclusive sofas, made of chrome-plated tubular steel and richly upholstered.
Context: It was often associated with her famous house E-1027 or her "Boudoir de Monte Carlo" in Paris.
Vereinigte Werkstätten (VW)
License & Production: Vereinigte Werkstätten (Munich) produced licensed editions of Eileen Gray's designs in the 1980s, including the Monte Carlo Sofa.
Production: Items from this period were often labeled "Vereinigte Werkstätten" before the exclusive production rights were later transferred to ClassiCon.
Materials (1980 edition): Vereinigte Werkstätten editions usually consist of a chrome-plated tubular steel frame and are upholstered in black leather.
