These functionally playful alphabet blocks bring an
unobtrusively quiet distinctiveness to any well-appointed
living room while affording hours of educational and
aesthetic pleasure for young design sophisticates.
Created by House Industries in a collaboration with the
estate of reknowned mid-century designer Alexander Girard,
the 28 wood blocks feature alphabets based on the
forthcoming Alexander Girard font collection and a
cleverly-adapted House Industries factory logo puzzle.
Alexander Girard (1907-1993) was a design virtuoso whose
work ranged from the incredibly comprehensive and
unforgettable Braniff Airways identity to high-profile
restaurant designs such as New York's La Fonda del Sol.
A longtime textile designer for Herman Miller, Girard's
work created a powerful artistic statement that is still
having a profound effect on interior and exterior
architectural environments today.
