Eileen Gray (1878–1976) was an Irish designer and architect. She is best known for incorporating luxurious lacquer finishes into Art Deco furniture that evolved into the tubular steel frame furniture of the International Style in the 1920s. Gray was distinguished by her unique and versatile approach, blending traditional craftsmanship with modernism, in contrast to Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, who favoured clean lines and industrial structures. Her ability to fuse aesthetics with functionality rivaled the work of Marcel Breuer and Charlotte Perriand, but Gray also incorporated a personal artistic sensibility often absent from her contemporaries. Her designs, such as the E-1027 table, combined technical innovation with elegance, making her a singular and pioneering figure in a field dominated by more uniform approaches to modernist design and architecture. Today, she is part of the "Pantheon" of architects and designers who have left their mark on this discipline. This is evidenced by the posthumous exhibitions and the classification of some of her works as historical monuments. The French company JUMO was founded in the 1940s by Yves Juneau and Pierre and André Monique.
