“Diagonals Girard Environmental Enrichment Panel by Herman Miller. Alexander Girard believed that design should bring beauty, fun, and sensuality to our world. Asked to add an element of Òaesthetic functionalismÓ to Herman MillerÕs Action Office, the very first open-plan furniture system, Girard developed 40 decorative silkscreen designs. Unlike GirardÕs usual printed textiles, the fabric panels featured single stand-alone images that varied from figurative pictograms to abstract designs. Dynamic, lively in color, and large in scale, they were the perfect way to deliver a sense of joy to a spaceÑthen and now.”
