Eileen Gray: artist, designer, architect. Born in 1878, the Irish artist Eileen Gray moved to Paris in 1906. An iconic figure of the decorative arts and a symbol of modernity, she created work over a 70-year period with absolute conceptual freedom. Of Eileen Gray there only remains unique works, incomplete archives and a series of mysteries.
