Yves Saint Laurents prized Eileen Gray leather ‘Dragons’ armchair went for 21.9 million euros (£19.4 million / $28 million) at Christies – a record for a work of 20th-century design at auction. I’d never heard of Eileen Gray – but now realize she’s the designer of the iconic circular glass E-1027 table. That is one expensive chair! And not a pretty one either. Crazy.
