Alexander Girard

Trained as an architect but proficient in nearly all design disciplines, Alexander Girard (1907-1993, United States) had a profound impact on 20th-century visual culture. As founding director of Herman Miller's textile division from its formation in 1952 until 1973, Girard generated more than 300 patterns from his outpost in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Reflecting his love of international folk art and unhampered by contemporary dictums of style and taste, Girard explored wildly different approaches to color, form, pattern, and construction.

Bertjan Pot

Bertjan Pot (b. 1975, the Netherlands) is an industrial designer who embraces the discoveries that result from material experimentation. Guided by a playful fascination with technique, structure, pattern, and colour, Pot often uses simple components and processes to create intricate objects including lights, woven masks, seats, tables, and textiles. A graduate of Design Academy Eindhoven, Pot has collaborated with Established & Sons, Moooi, and Nike, among others, and his work can be found in London's Victoria and Albert Museum; MoMA in New York; and Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum.

Designcraft presents Consolidate, an exhibition of unique work by some of our creative and highly skilled makers. Running from 1Nov - 20 Dec 2024, Consolidate responds to the question of what can be made from materials that would otherwise go unused—factory offcuts, bits and bobs, things that might easily be discarded. The answer is a stunning collection of work that is variously beautiful, intricate, refined, functional, and unconventional.
