Fathers Day Favorite 'Alexander Girard: A Designer's Universe' Opens at Cranbrook

Alexander Girard: A Designer's Universe is one gorgeous design book. Astonishingly, this 500-page linen-bound beauty is the first to draw from the prolific mid-century designer’s estate—which contains more than 100,000 inspirational folk art objects in addition to his own wide-ranging work. Featured here is Girard’s 1971 Environmental Enrichment Panel, “Love Heart,” produced when he was design director of Herman Miller’s textile division. Our love note to dads everywhere, it is included in the international traveling retrospective opening this weekend at Cranbrook Art Museum in Michigan.
