Alexander Girard, who headed Herman Miller's textile division from 1952 to 1973, was one of the most innovative modern designers of the 20th century, whose designs covered the work of George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames. Considered the greatest colorist and textile designer of modern time, Girard used traditional folk art to infuse color, whimsy and humor into vibrant modern design. For the fist time since 1972, Girard's iconic graphics are now available as wall art on 14'' x 14'' formaldehyde-free maple faced hardwood plywood. The panels reflect Girard's technique of printing directly on wood like in The Compound Restaurant in Santa Fe, New Mexico. If you want to bring some of Girard's mid-century designs into your MCM home, head to RCKNDY on U Street. It's much closer than Santa Fe.
