A smartly designed and beautifully illustrated look at the life and
work of an elusive and influential designer and architect Eileen
Gray (1878-1976) was a versatile designer and architect who
navigated numerous literary and artistic circles over the course of
her life. This handsome volume chronicles Gray's career as a
designer, architect, painter, and photographer. The book's essays,
featuring copious new research, offer in-depth analysis of more
than 50 individual designs and architectural projects, accompanied
by both period and new photographs. Born in Ireland and educated in
London, Gray proceeded to Paris where she opened a textile studio,
studied the Japanese craft of lacquer that would become a primary
technique in her design work, and owned and directed the
influential gallery and store known as "Jean Desert." Gray
struggled for acceptance as a largely self-taught woman in
male-dominated professions. Although she is now best known for her
furniture, lighting, and carpets, she dedicated herself to many
architectural and interior projects that were both personal and
socially driven, including the Villa E 1027, the iconic modern
house designed with Jean Badovici, as well as economical and
demountable projects, such as the Camping Tent. Published in
