In the mid-1950s, Alexander Girard designed the interior of the legendary Miller House in Columbus, Indiana. He gave the bright and airy rooms an intimate, warm atmosphere by interspersing the Miller family's fine art collection with folk art and a wide variety of bespoke objects. The heart of the house was the so-called 'conversation pit' - a sunken lounge area with built-in seating. The surrounding sofas featured a multitude of colourful scatter cushions that changed with the seasons and in the middle of the lounge ensemble stood its centrepiece: the Flower Table.
In close cooperation with the Girard family estate, Vitra has developed a version of the table in powder-coated steel for serial production. Featuring a geometric base with a flower-shaped tabletop, the Flower Table is an iconic design which is at once sculptural art and functional furniture. The table can be used in both indoor and outdoor settings.
