Graphic Bag

Description

Alexander Girard brought a sensuous playfulness to twentieth-century design that had been absent from the austere aesthetic of classic modernism. The printed tablecloths were created by Alexander Girard in 1961 for the Textiles & Objects shop (T&O) in New York City.

In cooperation with the Girard family, Vitra has selected 'Love Heart' and 'Snake'  motifs designed by Alexander Girard for various purposes in which to adorn the Graphic Bags. - Vitra
