Eileen Gray
 back to designer
|
Eileen Gray was born in Ireland. She came from a prosperous and artistic family and began her study at the Slade School of Fine Arts in 1898. In 1902 she moved to France and studied painting at the Académie Colarossi and at the Académie Julian in Paris. Later she was instructed in enamel art by the Japanese artist, Sougawara. During World War I she lived in London and only returned to Paris in 1918. She worked as a free-lance furniture designer and then as an interior architect until 1919. In 1922 she founded the gallery "Jean Désert" as a showcase for her own designs. In the same year she came in contact with the De-Stijl-Organization. J.J.P. Oud and Walter Gropius published an enthusiastic review of her "Monte-Carlo" room, a bedroom/boudoir, which she exhibited in the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs in 1923. From 1926 she worked exclusively as an interior architect and introduced some of her projects in Le Corbusier´s Pavillon des Temps Nouveaux on the Paris International Exhibition of 1937.
