In return, she designed a collection of furniture showcased at the Maison Jardin gallery in 1968.[3] The collection included two metal furnishings, the Flying Carpet Daybed and the Ring Chair, described as inspired by the spiraling form of an orange peel.[4] “I was peeling an orange for my children, and thought how nice it looked,” Pergay told The New York Times.[5] Her stool Vague (1968) is included in the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.[6]\nPergay has been commissioned by Givenchy, Pierre Cardin, Fendi, Christian Dior, Jacques Heim and Salvador Dalí.[1] Better known in Europe, where her work has been exhibited since 1971 after a first show curated by Air France, the New York gallery Demisch Danant hosted her first retrospective in 2006.[7] Her installation Metamorphosis was exhibited at the 2013 Design Miami fair.[8]\nPergay died on 31 October 2023, at the age of 93.[9]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: Height: 13.78 in (35 cm), Width: 47.25 in (120 cm), Depth: 23.63 in (60 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Modern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod: 1970-1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Good, Wear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Maria Pergay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53650243944789,"sku":null,"price":4080.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1037\/6236\/2709\/files\/IMG_1774892746960_master.jpg?v=1775724313","url":"https:\/\/the-vestige.com\/products\/maria-pergay-coffee-table-in-stainless-steel-for-design-steel-edition","provider":"The Vestige","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
