Eileen Gray:
Eileen is regarded as one of the most important architects and furniture designers of modern times after being neglected for most of her career. She usually worked independently because a majority of designers at that time were male. She studied art in London and then began to study lacquer. In 1968, her work is the topic of an article in Domus magazine, which got her recognition for her accomplishments.
