Story
From the Miller House to serial production
Girard furnished the Miller House in Columbus during the mid-1950s and placed a specially fabricated Flower Table at the centre of its conversation pit. The original brass table was modified with a different top in 1977.
A steel edition by Vitra
Working with the Girard family, Vitra developed the current powder-coated steel edition. Vitra also produces a smaller version with a 600 mm diameter.
