Eileen Gray was an Irish-born architect and designer whose work
played a major role in the development of modern furniture,
interiors and architecture during the twentieth century.
Her designs combined geometric clarity, refined materials and
a strong attention to flexibility, movement and everyday use.
She worked across furniture, lacquer, interiors and architecture.
Gray developed a highly personal interpretation of modernism,
creating elegant and functional objects that remain among the
most influential works of modern design.
