Eppie's Pick
Alexander Girard's Design Universe
This is an extract from our Studio Dispatch from 22nd August 2025.
We use this segment to share something that’s caught our eye—because inspiration can come from anywhere. Expect the unexpected: a fresh find, a forgotten gem, or a deep dive into something centuries old that Eppie’s just found. Whatever it is, we hope it sparks your curiosity too!
And this time, it’s Alexander Girard. Honestly, I don’t know why it took me this long. I was convinced I had already written an article on him, however as I have searched high and low, and not found anything, I can only assume I just went banana’s in Instagram stories one day and its now disappeared into the ether. So here goes, a deep dive into American designer, maker and collector, Alexander Girard.
