This is a biography of Eileen Gray (1878-1976), an Anglo-Irish architect and designer who spent her early life in Paris and opened showrooms in 1922 with a strong Art Deco emphasis. Written by a longstanding friend who draws on his exclusive access to Gray's personal archives, the book aims to re-create her life and architectural projects. Two houses she designed in the south of France are now considered architectural landmarks of the 20th century. In addition to more than 300 photographs, designs and architectural plans, this new edition provides a revised catalogue raisonne of Gray's furniture, architecture and drawings.
