Alexander Girard Designs for Herman Miller, 2nd Revised & Expanded

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.

Wonderful book on Girard and great price.

One of my all-time Great Designer .

Great book on an interesting person

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.

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
