          A designer of decorative furniture and Modernist architecture, Eileen Gray found recognition aged 94.

          5. It's a story as old as art history – a woman, ingenious and indefatigable, produces groundbreaking work while eluding critical attention for her entire career. Eileen Gray's story, at least, has a happy ending: her unique creative force was recognised in her lifetime – if only just and decades too late.

          Eileen Gray was a pioneer who carved out her space in the hostile, male-centric world of Modernism.

          After finding success as a furniture designer, she turned to architecture and with no formal training, created an iconic building that reinstated warmth and comfort as principle tenets of Modernist design. She found acclaim at the age of 94, before passing away aged 98, in 1976.
