An Evening with Eileen Gray: A Celebration of Genius and Grace.

An Evening with Eileen Gray: A Celebration of Genius and Grace

We were recently delighted to attend a special screening of the latest film about the legendary designer and architect Eileen Gray - a poignant and beautifully crafted portrait of a woman far ahead of her time.

Hosted by the film’s Director and Writer, Beatrice Minger, alongside the captivating lead actor, Natalie Radmall-Quirke, the evening offered not only a cinematic experience but also a deeper insight into Gray’s life through an engaging Q&A session that followed.

The film is a quiet triumph - visually stunning and emotionally resonant - much like Eileen Gray herself. It captures the essence of a shy, private woman whose groundbreaking work was too often overshadowed by her more vocal contemporaries, particularly Le Corbusier. Yet, what emerges is a deeply respectful homage to her legacy, talent, and singular vision.

We highly recommend this film to anyone interested in design, architecture, or the often overlooked stories of creative women in history. A truly inspiring evening.
