sfmoma :: exhibition :: alexander girard: vibrant modern :: la fonda del sol october 14, 2006 - february 25, 2007 "as director of the herman miller textile division from 1952 to 1973, alexander girard brought a passion for ethnic motifs + extravagantly bright colors to the clean, streamlined aesthetic that dominated mid-century design. girard + his colleagues charles eames + george nelson formed a team that transformed the legacy of american modernism. girard's aesthetic, once iconoclastic, continues to inspire contemporary designers today. alexander girard: vibrant modern features a selection of girard's lively, bold designs from the sfmoma collection, including textiles designed for herman miller in the 1960s + works created for la fonda del sol restaurant in new york city." pics lafondadelsol by ~mod*mom~ at 2.11.06 © 3 Comments:My favorite are the egg holders.
