About the Item

Nice original working condition,, replaced back.. Signed with stamped manufacturer’s mark to underside: [12132]. USA Medium Design/Decorative Art Manufacturer Detrola Radio Alexander Girard American, 1907–1993• A preeminent figure in midcentury American design, Alexander Girard combined a vibrant color palette and folk influences with the sleek and functional work of Herman Miller and Charles and Ray Eames. Girard established a textile division at Herman Miller’s leading design firm and served as its director from the early 1950s through the 1970s, ultimately branching out into his own furniture and industrial design lines. Inspired by the Navajo textiles that he was exposed to while in the southwestern United States, Girard enlivened the more minimalist tendencies of his peers and collaborators with bright colors and graphic prints, pioneering what would become an iconic midcentury design aesthetic. radio, 1946 Teak plywood, upholstery, brass, acrylic, Bakelite 8 × 12 1/4 × 8 in
