Summary

Eileen Gray was always ahead of her time. Thirty years after her death, she is still considered to be the very essence of the Modern. Everyone has seen her furniture, her famous Adjustable Table, the Lota Sofa, the Tube Light - but most people don't really know the designer and architect behind them. Born in 1878 to an aristocratic family of Irish-Scottish heritage, she first studied in London and then moved to Paris in 1902. Here she gained wide spread respect for her work. At the same time she enjoyed leading the bohemian lifestyle of an independent woman. She loved men and women, fast cars, airplanes, ships and traveling - and she revolutionized our idea of how we live. As an architect, she created one of the most famous homes of the twentieth century, the E.1027. The house in Roquebrune, just opposite Monte Carlo, mesmerized renowned fellow architect Le Corbusier from the moment he saw it until he died - his obsession for the building ended up destroying his friendship with Eileen Gray.
