Omschrijving
“[This] book reveals Gray to be more than a privileged purveyor of rarefied homewares. She emerges as a creator of strange, haunting interiors, unrealised designs of housing for the homeless and the author of an animal-themed ballet.”—Oliver Wainwright, The Guardian G2
“This essay collection…explores the prolific career of a celebrated Irish modernist. Each facet of Gray's work is covered in depth, including her fascination with Japanese lacquerware and her experiments in weaving.”—Sophie Devlin, House & Garden
“This is more than just a book, it is a catalogue, a collection of essays, a research document, an inventory of Eileen Gray’s works, a timeline in design and a visual feast and references for any designer.”—Chartered Society of Designers Newsletter, June 2020
“[A] kaleidoscopic perspective of Gray’s life and work. Details that are missing from Gray’s own archives are filled in by accounts in other archival material, and as such it forms a particularly rich account...This book is a welcome step towards evolving our understanding of her contributions to design and architecture.”—Johanna Agerman Ross, Journal of the Decorative Arts Society Newsletter
“As well as essays from the Pompidou catalogue, which had previously only been available in French, the essays in this well illustrated volume consider Gray’s early life in Ireland, as well as examining her career as a designer of furniture, rugs and interiors.”—The William Shipley Group for RSA History Bulletin
