		Eileen Gray, on the other hand, although her period of greatest creativity overlapped with that of Hicks, was scarcely known during those years in Ireland, where she had been born and raised.
		Gray's first pieces of furniture produced in the years leading up to the first World War were lacquerwork panels, one of which is also in the museum's collection.
		Gray's reticent nature and her slow working methods meant she completed relatively few schemes, although there are plans for many buildings both private and public.

		Eileen Gray's nonconformist and brilliant mind led her to a uniquely creative life at the turn of the century in Paris.
		The misunderstanding Eileen Gray encountered on the part of her contemporaries was partly due to her exceptional character and partly to the fact that she was an unconventional figure for her time.
		Eileen Gray was certainly affected by the misogynistic attitudes of her modernist architect contemporaries who considered her a dilettante.

		Gray built the house on an isolated stretch of the French Riviera, on the western side of Cap Martin overlooking the Bay of Monaco.
		Wishing to build a house that interacted with the natural elements surrounding it, she carefully studied the wind and the angles of the sun at different times of the day and year and in this way was able to build a structure with a constant, evolving relationship with the sun, the wind, and the sea.
		Gray created a villa with an open and flexible design which allowed the user to experience the space of living as an organic whole comprising the self, the house, and the outside environment.

		Eileen Gray spent the years of the First World War in London with Sugawara, and on her return to Paris in 1919 she received her most ambitious decorative commission - the Rue de Lota apartment of Mme Mathieu Lèvy, known professionally as the model Suzanne Talbot.
		By 1922 Gray was in a position to open her own gallery, Jean Dèsert, in the Rue du Faubourg St.-Honorè, Paris to display and sell her furniture, lamps, mirrors and carpets, which she found economical to produce in small series of four and five.
		The career of Eileen Gray represents a perfect illustration of the transition from the exotic, individual craftsperson-made objects of the early 1920’s to the purposefully functional architecture and furniture of the Modern Movement.

		Thus her architecture and designs strive to be both mobile and livable, articulating both the sedentary feel of the home and the ambulant, incessantly shifting milieu of the vagrant.
		Gray was always an outsider, decentered, speaking in foreign tongues.
		While her furniture retained strong elements of the organic, it began to combine these with pure geometric forms: a chair might employ a simple, fl bracket frame, yet be upholstered in animal hide.
