An Expressive Motif

Alexander Girard, 1961

The Graphic Print Pillows by Alexander Girard feature expressive motifs by this mid-century designer, providing striking accents for diverse interior styles.
Alexander Girard demonstrated his masterful command of colors, patterns, and textures in the many textile designs he created, which were a focal part of his oeuvre. The architect and designer frequently combined motifs from folk art sources with abstract patterns. Many of his figures and patterns exude a cheery playfulness, and thanks to their vivid colors, even his simplest graphic motifs possess a high degree of differentiation. The Graphic Print Pillows bring a number of these designs to life again: featuring abstract graphics and expressive figurative motifs, they create striking accents and are suited as decorative accessories for diverse interior styles.
Fabric: 100% cotton.
Filling: duck half down.
