Between 1926 and 1928, Eileen Gray collaborated with Jean Badovici on the creation of an architectural masterpiece: Villa E-1027, in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. For this project, she designed all the furniture, including the iconic Transat chair, created around 1927. Its name refers to the abbreviation of "transatlantique," evoking the deck chairs on ocean liners.
