Eileen Gray, forgotten pioneer of modernism

Eileen Gray (1878-1976) was ignored for fifty years, then rediscovered as one of the greatest designers of the 20th century. This Irishwoman settled in Paris from 1907 reinvented everything: revisited Chinese lacquer for the Le Destin screens, tubular furniture with the E1027 table (1927) that would inspire Le Corbusier, the E1027 villa in Roquebrune designed entirely with Jean Badovici. A radical and discreet body of work that has steadily gained in value since the creator's death.
