Girard Environmental Enrichment Panel, Brick

“Art is only art when it is synonymous with living,” said Alexander Girard, the director of design for Herman Miller’s textile division from 1952 to 1973. Toward the end of his tenure at the Michigan-based company, Girard was asked to add an element of “aesthetic functionalism” to Herman Miller’s very first open-plan office system, called Action Office. He responded with more than 40 images for the Environmental Enrichment Panel (1972) project. Ranging from abstract designs to figurative pictograms, these lively, colorful and fun panels bring personality and warmth – and a bit of Girard wit – into any environment. Each includes preattached mounting brackets for easy hanging (mounting screws not included). This is an authentic Environmental Enrichment Panel by Herman Miller. Made in U.S.A.
