Carpet tile generally registers pretty low on design wish lists, somewhere after linoleum flooring and fake wood paneling, if at all. Flor has changed all that for us here at EOA.

Alexander Girard http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EOABlogFeed/~3/YcRQSqGJi4A/were-inspired-by-alexander-girard.html

If you need a little more whimsy in your life I bet some Alexander Girard-designed textiles will do just the trick. We often turn to the work of the Mid-Century designer when we need to get the creative juices flowing for custom wallpapers and finishes. It seems obvious today, but Girard was one of the first designers to stress form and not just function in textile design through the use of color and pattern. As the head of the textile department at Herman Miller in the 50’s and 60’s, he was responsible for enlivening the furniture of his colleagues George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames. Deeply influenced by his passion for folk art, Girard’s designs show the hand of the artist and his masterful command and deep understanding of color.  

Fun EOA connection: Robin's parents took her to see the famous Girard-designed La Fonda Del Sol Restaurant when she was in fifth grade. 

After the jump we have put together a (decidedly not comprehensive) list of resources for Girard-designed products. . .
