Vitra's Flower Table, designed by Alexander Girard, features a playful expression and a shape that resembles a blooming flower. The original design was made of brass, but, in collaboration with the Girard family, Vitra later developed a steel version of the table. This version is not only low-maintenance but also suitable for outdoor use.
The cheerful Flower Table was originally created for the famous Miller House. Girard was responsible for the interior design of the house, and one of its special features was a sunken lounge area with a built-in sofa on each side – Girard designed the Flower Table as the centrepiece for this conversation pit. The Miller House is located in Columbus, Indiana, USA, and now serves as a museum. The brass Flower Table is still in the centre of the lounge area, where it can be admired when visiting the museum.
