Alexander Girard Small Squares

DESCRIPTION
  • Our ongoing collaboration with the estate of Alexander Girard continues with Small Squares (1953), a print developed during his second year as Head of Fabric and Textile Design at Herman Miller.
  • Created at a pivotal moment in his tenure, the design reflects Girard’s early efforts to define a new visual language for textiles within modernist interiors.
  • Within the print, an irregular arrangement of colored squares is set against a muted ground, balancing spontaneity with underlying order.
  • This tension situates Small Squares within a broader mid-century context, where artists and designers explored abstraction through both reduction and repetition.
  • Geometric forms and a restrained color palette reference Bauhaus and early modernist painting.
  • Without any noticeable symmetry in the print, Small Squares appears particularly hand-made.
  • As with much of Girard's work, these design characteristics support the idea that design
  • Influences of Bauhaus and early modernist painting are both evident in its use of geometric forms and restrained palette, while the loose grid structure suggests a departure from strict symmetry toward a more dynamic, human-centered composition.
  • As with much of Girard’s work, the design reinforces his view of textiles as active architectural elements rather than passive decoration.
  • To continue Girard’s emphasis on quality craftsmanship, we had Small Squares meticulously reengineered by our Italian partner mill on a summer-weight 100% cotton poplin.
  • Each color was matched to its original Pantone, and extra care was taken to ensure pigments hold fast and resist bleeding, preserving the clarity and balance of the original composition.
