Alexander Girard Designs for Herman Miller

I thought I would share with you some images from a book about one of our favorite designers - Alexander Girard we have posted a few times about him before.

This book mostly focuses on the many textile designs he did for Herman Miller, at the back are some more images showing some the fabric applications and a few other bits and pieces. I picked out my favorite images, by the way the cover is really horrible - its so bad I couldnt even post it!

Curiosity Shop

When I was a kid and we got a bit of holiday money to spend on seaside stuff, I always went for the balsa airplane and the little sand castle flags.
Love this patterned airplane from Curiosity Shop and I wouldnt say no to a pack of those Fonda del Sol cards by Alexander Girard too.

I love love love these dolls, my favourite would be the pink one with the bow around its neck. You can buy them from SFMOMA or from most big art museums.
