Eileen Gray

Eileen Gray had Scottish-Dutch origins.
You discovered the workshop of D. Charles, a painter specializing in lacquers. She collaborated with him and learned everything that was needed for the period of her professional career. In 1902 she went to Paris, where she continued to perfect herself in the art of oriental drawing and lacquering.

She was noticed by the great tailor Jacques Doucet, a connoisseur and art collector who entrusted her with the task of furnishing his new home. Her first major work was decorating "Madame Lùvy" in the Rue de Lota in Paris.

An extensive illustrated article in a Dutch magazine, a new exhibition and the appreciation of Gropius, Mallet-Stevens and Le Corbusier encouraged Gray to take the step towards architecture.

Since the 1980s, his sight and hearing for her declined continuously, yet she continued to invent new designs and experiment with new materials.
