A modern master of color and pattern inspired by folk art, typography, and vivid color, Alexander Girard was a design polymath whose signature aesthetic touched every project he undertook.

The Eameses’ and Knolls' ties to Eero Saarinen ran deep. Charles previously collaborated with Eero on the 1940 Organic Chair for the Museum of Modern Art’s “Organic Design in Home Furnishings” competition and won for their experiments with bent plywood. Eero was eager to continue exploring the possibilities of a chair that achieved comfort through the shape of its shell, not the depth of its cushioning, and in 1948 Knoll introduced the iconic Womb Chair.
