1st Prize
1 set of Alexander Girard Alphabet Blocks
These functionally playful alphabet blocks bring an unobtrusively quiet distinctiveness to any well-appointed living room while affording hours of educational and aesthetic pleasure for young design sophisticates. Created by House Industries in a collaboration with the estate of reknowned mid-century designer Alexander Girard, the 28 wood blocks feature alphabets based on the Alexander Girard font collection and a cleverly-adapted House Industries factory logo puzzle.
From the high desert of New Mexico to the depths of Vitra’s archive in Weil am Rhein, Germany, this new book documents the four-year journey that resulted in our new Alexander Girard collection.
This Smythe-sewn hardbound book has 64 full-color pages that document the four-year House Industries Alexander Girard project. Printed and stamped linen cover, 8.25″ (21.5 cm) square, signed and numbered, limited edition of 1000. Designed in Delaware. Printed and bound in the USA.

2nd Prize
Your pick of 1 Alexander Girard T-Shirt
Girard’s folk art sensibilities complemented residential settings and brought a sense of warmth to Herman Miller’s otherwise sterile Action Office designs. The “Old Sun” was originally printed on a Mexicotton environmental enrichment panel.
