IRL : Girard & Vitra.
Posted on July 22, 2010
Filed Under Designers, IRL, Now
Guten Tag! A quick check in from Vitra Design Museum at Charles-Eames Strasse in Germany. I am working all week in the Alexander Girard archives housed at Vitra. These are some of the wonders I’ve been soaking in over the past few days. Just the tip of the iceberg.
1. My work station. Just like a real archivist I’ve been scanning photographs & sketchbooks all week.
2. Excerpt from a Girard sketchbook.
3. Memphis Group in the hallway!
4. Small section of the Vitra lamp archive.
5. Boxes of textiles from Girard archive.
6. Girard wooden toys.
More to come, I will post building/outdoor, above the basement pictures soon. Bye!
PS: I’m still going to Switzerland, but that’s on Sunday. Mountains & stuff.

I absolutely LOVE his stuff, what I would give to root through those boxes of textiles!
JA! Super brilliant work. And his textiles are ga-ga. I’ve yet to root through the boxes but have been scanning sketches of textile patterns.
btw, I took much better and way more pics of Girard’s work on my iphone. Hopefully I can post some when I get back to the states.
