Very little remains of 20th-century Irish designer Eileen Gray's architecture. Of the three buildings that saw completion, only her 1929 French Riviera villa E-1027 has been properly recognized and restored, and that was after it survived being tampered with by Le Corbusier, shot up by Nazis, and left to languish, nearly forgotten. But Gray left behind sketches for almost 50 unrealized projects.
It was one of these plans that caught the attention of Egg Collective founders Stephanie Beamer, Crystal Ellis, and Hillary Petrie last year, when they were exploring potential settings to showcase their latest furniture collection. One of Gray's unbuilt projects-her 1933-34 "House for Two Sculptors"-was a live-work space with an egg-shaped studio adjoining smaller living quarters. "It spoke to us," Petrie says, "like a message through time."
