Alexander Girard Side Table in Blue Pearl Granite

Alexander Girard believed modernism could have a sense of humor, and his furniture reflects that philosophy. Originally designed for Braniff International Airways and produced by Herman Miller, this rare side table pairs a welded die-cast aluminum base with a Blue Pearl granite top that shifts between charcoal, silver, and electric blue as it catches the light. Original Herman Miller branding, an Italian-finished stone surface, and the coveted first-production Braniff shockmount elevate it beyond a simple accent table, making it a remarkable intersection of aviation history, mid-century design, and collectible craftsmanship.
