Details

While textile design was the primary focus of Alexander Girard, he was also admired for his work in furniture design, graphics, exhibitions, and interior architecture. Girard brought a sensuous playfulness to 20th-century design that had been absent from the austere aesthetic of classic modernism. He devoted the same level of attention to every interior: Ceilings, walls and floors were designed with great care and coordinated with functional pieces in each room. Girard created his Metal Wall Relief (1966) to decorate The Compound Restaurant and his own home, both in Santa Fe. In cooperation with the Girard family, Vitra has revived several of the original motifs, crafted from robust sheet metal. Each mounts off the wall to cast a subtle shadow. Made in Poland.

Alexander Girard

Alexander Girard

Inspired by folk art, typography, and vivid color, Alexander Girard was a design polymath whose signature aesthetic touched every project he undertook. As the director of Herman Miller’s Textile Division from 1952-1973, his designs helped imbue postwar modernism with playfulness, and wit.
