Eileen Gray was an Irish designer whose pioneering work in modernism left an indelible mark in the world of design. Her journey began as a lacquer artist, where a burgeoning passion for innovation propelled her into new creative territories. Unwavering in her quest to push boundaries, Gray went on to transition into furniture design, interior design and architecture. In a male-dominated era, Gray’s resilience and ingenuity shone brightly, establishing her as a beacon of inspiration for women in design. Her portfolio includes some of modernism's most iconic pieces: the E1027 adjustable table, the Bibendum chair, the Brick Screen and the architectural marvel, Villa E-1027. At age 94, Gray’s work was rediscovered, lauding her 'inventiveness' and 'visionary intuition.' Today, Eileen Gray's legacy lives on. Her designs grace exhibitions worldwide and her furniture fetches millions at auctions, a testament to her enduring influence and timeless vision. We uplift Gray’s contributions to the industry and admire her shared passion to bring innovative designs to all people and places. #EileenGray #Modernism #PRIDEMonth #DesignIcon #FurnitureDesign #InteriorDesign #Architecture #WomenInDesign

Our D.C. team recently had the pleasure to join our partner, The Michaels Organization, in hosting a tour of construction at The Lodge at Autumn Willow in Virginia. We were honored to welcome Germany’s Federal Minister for Housing, Klara Geywitz, along with other German Ministry and German Embassy members, to discuss the innovative aspects of this build that make thoughtful and dignified housing accessible to seniors. 🏗️ Intrigued by our strategy for modular design and construction, we’re grateful for this opportunity to share insights and engage in meaningful dialogue with international peers about how we can create vibrant and accessible living spaces for older adults. A special thank you to The Michaels Organization and Jade Freehoff for capturing this incredible moment. 📸 #ProjectSite #ModularConstruction #Virginia #InternationalConnection #Architecture #Design #KTGY #TheMichaelsOrganization #WhereDesignLives
