Throughout her life as one of the world’s most accomplished female designers and architects, the ambitious Eileen Gray (1878–1976) always looked ahead. “The future projects light,” she said, “the past only clouds.” In an online exhibition that traces her forward-thinking journey, images on the platform showcase different facets of her career, from recently rediscovered pieces to her most celebrated projects. —E.C.
