Description:

TODD OLDHAM - ALEXANDER GIRARD MONOGRAPH

Celebrating the prolific career of Alexander Girard, IIDA NY is pleased to open the 2012 Pioneering Design Lecture Series with renowned designer Todd Oldham, who recently authored a monograph about Girard. Todd will take us on a journey sharing his meticulous research as he explored and documented the life and amazing works of Girard.

As one of the most prolific and versatile mid-20th century designers, Girard's work spanned many disciplines, including textile design, graphic design, typography, illustration, furniture design, interior design, product design, exhibit design, and architecture.

Girard's repertoire includes an incredible list of projects, including his bold, colorful, and iconic textile designs for Herman Miller (1952-1975), his typographic designs for La Fonda del Sol restaurant (1960), his celebrated retail store Textiles and Objects (1961), his own Girard Foundation (1962) that houses his own extensive, personal collection of folk art from around the world, and his complete branding and environmental design for Braniff International Airways (1965).
