In contrast to Girard’s geometric patterns, Quatrefoil was among the first designs that were more free-flowing, open, and delicate. It was introduced as a printed textile in 1954 and available on various shades and types of fabric.
Eamesbikini chair pads are handmade in the U.S.A. with contract-quality textiles. Each bikini consists of a top and bottom pad that ties in the middle (hence, The Bikini Pad). 'Quatrefoil' eamesbikinis are made from MAHARAM's authentic line of 20th Century Textiles (79% cotton, 21% polyester) with Teflon® finish. Dry-clean only.
The Designer:
Alexander Girard (1907-1993) was born in New York City but was educated as an architect in Europe. His career breakthrough came in 1949, when he designed the Detroit
Institute of Art's "For Modern Living," a significant exhibition promoting postwar modernism. In 1952, Girard became the
head of Herman Miller furniture company's textile division, designing more than 300 textiles and wallpapers. His work was always
inspired by his love of technology and folk art as well as by contemporary art movements and fashion.
