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 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' for various purposes in which to adorn the Graphic Bags.
