Best known for her work with lacquer, Eileen Gray (1878–1976) had a fascinating and multifaceted artistic career: she became a designer of ornaments, furniture, interiors, and eventually homes. ██████ ███ █████████ ███████ ████ ███████ ███████ ██ ███ ████ ██████ ███ ██████ ███████ ██ ████████ ████ ███████ ████ ████ ███████ ███████ ███
Both require a balance between aesthetic and structural considerations. For lacquer, structural considerations require the wood to be lacquered on both sides, meaning half of the work is aesthetically hidden if only viewed from one side.

It’s difficult to know what to look for in the correct answer, because Gray’s work is described throughout the passage. But we might have a sense that Gray’s work didn’t involve flowing, leafy lines; it used modern materials such as steel; it was austere; and it was also functional.
a
an upholstered sofa ████ ████████ ███████ ███ ███████ ██████ ████
“Tasseled fringes” doesn’t sound austere. Also, “curved” doesn’t fit Gray’s preference for straight lines.
Beads, pearls, and colorful shells doesn’t sound austere or simple.
e
a metal chair █████ ██████ █████ ██ ███████ ██ ███ ███ █████ ████
This is the best answer, because it’s the only one that involves a simple form that meets the needs of a user.
