Eileen Gray by Caroline Constant

Info

Hardcover, 21 x 21cm
256 pages, 222 illustrations
Published by Phaidon

Words

"A contemporary of Pierre Chareau and Charlotte Perriand, Irish-born designer Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is known primarily for her highly original furniture and interior design but also realized nine buildings in her lifetime and amassed an archive of more than 45 architectural projects. This monograph by Caroline Constant is the first in-depth study of Gray’s entire career, providing a generously illustrated analysis of her early designs as well as her work as an architect beginning in 1926. It draws on a wealth of archival material, plans, drawings, and photographs – including many of Gray’s own – to place her in the context of contemporary movements in design and architecture as well as twentieth-century social and cultural history."

The Line might be best considered a purveyor of beautiful things; from objects and clothing to homewares and digital content. And they have recently opened their second apartment atelier, following the success of the original New York enterprise. The new Melrose Place location is now open, and showcases the same pared back, refined and luxurious taste that gained the original concept store such a fine reputation in the first place.
