Among the great designers at Herman Miller in the 1950s and 1960s, Alexander Girard enhanced Eames' and Nelson's furniture with innovative textiles. As head of Herman Miller's Textile Division since it was formed in 1952, he designed some of the most colorful and exciting fabrics available anywhere. He also designed the 25-piece Girard Group of modern furniture, and the 40-item series of Environmental Enrichment Panels for Action Office 2. Girard's unmatched folk art collection adorned Herman Miller buildings, filled their Textiles & Objects Shop in New York, and over 100,000 items made up the famous Girard Foundation. His acclaimed work as an interior designer and architect and his remarkable textiles for Herman Miller make Girard one of the legendary designers of the twentieth century. With over 400 mostly color photographs of his textile and wallpaper designs, all of the EE panels and furniture, plus detailed text, timeline, and an updated value guide, this book is a comprehensive view of Girard's work at Herman Miller, and a must for anyone interested in mid-century design of textiles, interiors, or graphics.

If you love mid-century and appreciate textiles and fabulous designs, this is a special book to own. I had the chance to see his collection of art/collectibles in New Mexico, and at the time did not connect the two. Now owning this book makes me understand how his colors, patterns and textures all intermixed. So simple yet compelling as a design. This will be a great resource book for me- and help me get back to my roots as a hand loom weaver.

Girard's Fabrics Were Not All He Did..
This is a great book. Page after page of Girard's designs. Color and black and white photos. Few people know that, aside from textiles, Alexander Girard was responsible for some of Herman Miller's earliest modern furniture. His furniture design are also outlined in this book.

Alexander Gerard Designs for Herman Miller
Great and thorough history about his collaboration with Miller, but the images and coloring are of poor quality, only taking away from his art. Also, some images are too small, it would have been nice to have more full page images to really appreciate the detail of his craft. Also, there are only two Girard books that I know of, and this one only covers part of his career; i wish it was more comprehensive.

二版目だからなのか、全体的に色が薄くなったような？また、本にカバーを付けると滑って読みにくいので捨てた。（中身も同じデザイン
