Girard Flower Table

Alexander Girard has quite the history with Herman Miller. He served as the founding director of the company’s textile division in 1952 and spent over two decades with the company—creating a plethora of memorable works.

Now, Herman Miller is giving one of Girard’s designs a wide release for the first time: the Girard Flower Table, a brass structure that boats scalloped edges on its round top and a repeating, petal-shaped pattern at its base. The Girard Flower Table originally debuted as part of the Miller House in Columbus, Indiana, a home that Girard designed in collaboration with the famed architect Eero Saarinen—and it sat at the middle of a lush conversation pit. 

In 2022, Girard Studio—an organization founded by the Girard family and run by Girard’s grandchildren to promote and preserve his designs—worked with Vitra to bring the table back to market, and now Herman Miller has taken over distribution duties for the table as well as is making it available in North America for the first time ever.

The Girard Flower Table is available now at Herman Miller and MillerKnoll dealers.
