Graphic Bags, Love Heart


Design by Alexander Girard, 1971





In cooperation with the Girard family, Vitra has selected 'Love Heart' and 'Snake'

– motifs designed by Alexander Girard for various purposes – to adorn the Graphic Bags.


Material:  100% cotton, screen-printed motifs.


Along with his colleagues Charles and Ray Eames and George Nelson, Alexander Girard

was one of the leading figures in American design during the post-war era.

While textile design was the primary focus of Girard's oeuvre,

he was also admired for his graphic art as well as his work in furniture,

exhibition and interior design. Girard brought a sensuous playfulness to twentieth-century design

that had been absent from the austere aesthetic of classic modernism.
