What a wizard Girard was with textiles! I included the La Fonda chair in a recent post I did on Girard. Since Braniff was headquartered locally, he is best known here for creating their new image in 1965.
ReplyDeleteThose are dreamy. Really more of a piece of art than a chair.
ReplyDeleteOMFG! GORGEOOOUUUUUUUSSSS!
ReplyDeleteThese chairs have me drooling. So great!
ReplyDeleteDana: Thanks for the tip off, we're heading over to your blog to have a look at your piece on Girand.
ReplyDeleteVintage Hunter: A piece of art one can sit in!
Obsessilicious: Ditto!
The Veda House: Glad you like them!
