Blog : Eileen Gray

Visiting Mary McGuckian on the set of her new film, 'The Price of Desire', about the Irish born pioneering modernist designer/architect Eileen Gray and Le Corbusier. This is the house - known as E-1027 - in Roquebrune that Eileen Gray designed in the mid-1920s with her then partner, Jean Badovici. It was truly ahead of it's time. Le Corbusier later defaced the house by creating murals on some of the walls - which were much loathed by Gray.
