Alexander Girard Upholstered Stool from Herman Miller - Checker Sienna Dark/ Khaki

A mid-century modern stool in Alexander Girard’s revolutionary fabrics.

Originally produced in 1967, Alexander Girard’s Upholstered Stool has been reintroduced with sustainable materials, such as recycled aluminum legs and bio-based foam for the seat. Known for his mid-century modern textile designs, Gerard sought to reinvent the everyday stool with his upholstery colors and patterns. Upholstered office furniture in the 1950s tended toward the utilitarian, drab and pattern-less. Girard revolutionized this by introducing joyful colors and patterns, as is the case with this stool. Use this design as a footstool or as extra seating in your home or office. The Alexander Girard Upholstered Stool measures 18.75h x 15.5"diam. Both Alexander Girard and the table’s manufacturer, Herman Miller, are represented in MoMA’s collection.
