Alexander Girard color story: Den/TV Room rug, pt. 2
In a series of posts over two weeks, the staff of the IMA Archives are bringing these five Alexander Girard designs for the Millers’ Den/TV Room rug to life, relying only on Girard’s color samples. This isn’t the first time that we’ve featured this particular Girard rug (see previous posts here and here), but this is the first time that we will explore Girard’s entire color story for this unique rug…color-by-color.
