Eileen Gray later developed an interest in architecture, designing two houses, "E-1027" (completed in 1929) and "Tempe a Pailla" (completed in 1934) in the south of France, seminal examples of the spirit of the Modern Movement. This book analyzes and illustrates the full range of her furniture, interiors and completed architectural projects. Philippe Garner has been the director of Sotheby’s in London.
