Summary
In the South of France, 1924, construction began in earnest on a villa by the sea. Nearly a century later E-1027 has become a design milestone and the creator, Eileen Gray, a pioneer of Modernist design and architecture. During the dazzling Années Folles of 1920s Paris is where Gray's work reached new heights of innovation. Gray sought to create art that was both functional and sensual, leading her to build the most daring work of her career. But a lifetime of being overshadowed by male peers nearly saw her omitted from its history.
