Flower table, large, anthracite
Description
The Vitra Flower Table, designed by Alexander Girard, boasts a playful expression and a form that resembles a flower in bloom. The original design was crafted from brass, but, in collaboration with the Girard family, Vitra later developed a steel version of the table. This version is not only low maintenance but also suitable for outdoor use.
The cheerful Flower Table was originally created for the famous Miller House. Girard was in charge of the home's interior design, and one of its special features was a sunken lounge area with a built-in sofa surrounding it on each side – Girard designed Flower Table as the centerpiece of this conversation pit. The Miller House is located in the US, in Columbus, Indiana, and nowadays serves as a museum. The brass Flower Table still stands in the center of the lounge area where it can be marveled at when visiting the museum.

Alexander Girard (1907–1993) was an American designer and architect known for his work across interior, furniture, textile and industrial design. From 1952 to 1975, he collaborated closely with Herman Miller, contributing significantly to the brand’s design legacy. Alongside contemporaries like George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames, Girard is regarded as a leading figure in mid-century American design. Among his most celebrated projects are the vibrant interior of New York’s La Fonda del Sol restaurant and the Girard Foundation in San Diego, which showcases his remarkable and extensive folk art collection.
