The largest retrospective to date on the work of American designer Alexander Girard opened on 12 March 2016 at the Vitra Design Museum. Along with textiles, small objects, interior designs and private documents, the show also illuminates sources of inspiration and connections with people who influenced Alexander Girard’s creative universe. Most of the objects on display come from the designer’s private estate, which was donated to the Vitra Design Museum in 1996. The show was curated by Jochen Eisenbrand.
