“Knot Girard Environmental Enrichment Panel by Herman Miller. Alexander GirardÕs mission when developing 40 decorative silkscreen designs for Action Office was a simple one: to give the first-ever open-plan furniture system Òaesthetic functionalism.Ó Unlike the designerÕs printed textiles with repeated patterns, the fabric panels, released in 1972, consisted of single stand-alone images that range from figurative pictograms to abstract designs. Dynamic, large in scale, and vibrant in color, they were the perfect embodiment of GirardÕs belief that design should bring beauty, fun, and sensuality to our world.”
