During his prolific 50-year career, Alexander Girard shaped design as we know it and helped one brand redefine modern for the 21st century. At Herman Miller, he helped establish the textile division to complement the innovation of design greats like the Eameses and George Nelson. With the 300 textiles, prints, and objects created over his 21-year tenure, Girard ignited the design world’s appetite for color and pattern that paved the path for many designers today. Discover his work—and some never-before-seen images—in Phaidon’s new monograph “Alexander Girard: Let the Sun in,” available at Herman Miller. https://mlkn.co/6041URazl

Why Do Architects Wear Black? Have you ever noticed that many architects wear black? There's more to it than just fashion. There are somereasons associated with wearing black. ✅ Professionalism: Black is often associated with sophistication, elegance, and professionalism. Architects, as creative professionals, may choose black to convey a sense of seriousness and dedication to their work. ✅ Timelessness: Black is a timeless color that never goes out of style. Just as architects aim to create designs that stand the test of time, their choice of black clothing reflects this enduring quality. ✅ Focus on Design: By wearing black, architects can ensure their attire doesn't distract from their designs. A neutral and understated color, black allows their architectural work to take center stage. ✅ Practicality: Black is versatile and easy to match with other clothing. For architects with busy schedules and numerous meetings, a black wardrobe offers convenience and simplicity. ✅ Uniformity: In some cases, wearing black can act as an unofficial uniform within the profession. This creates a sense of unity and a distinct visual identity for architects. Just like doctors wear white, architects wear black to create their own unique identity. Black represents elegance, richness, and sophistication. It also shows the seriousness of their profession. So, the next time you see an architect in black, remember—it’s not just a color choice; it’s a statement of their commitment to their craft. #Architecture #Design #Professionalism #Timelessness #Focus #Practicality #Identity #Architects #WhyWearBlack
