Checker Cushion by Alexander Girard

Add a timeless mid-century statement to your interior with the Checker Cushion by Alexander Girard. Handmade to order in Australia, this luxury designer cushion features Girard’s iconic geometric checker pattern, beautifully finished with elegant piping and paired with a soft feather and down cushion insert.

Originally designed in 1965 by renowned American designer Alexander Girard, the Checker textile was created during his time as founding director of the Herman Miller Textile Division, a position he held from 1952 to 1973. Today, this iconic 20th-century design has been reissued by Maharam as part of its Textiles of the 20th Century collection.

The Checker design captures the distinctive energy of mid-century modern interiors, with bold geometric patterning and carefully reproduced archival colour combinations. Its versatile design makes it an elegant addition to contemporary, classic and eclectic interiors, bringing colour, pattern and designer character to sofas, beds, armchairs and occasional chairs.

Made from a durable 77% cotton and 23% polyester blend, the fabric combines the look and feel of a premium designer textile with excellent performance for modern interiors. With a 50,000 double rubs Wyzenbeek rating, this designer cushion is designed for lasting beauty and everyday use.

Each 50cm x 50cm Alexander Girard cushion is expertly handmade with attention to detail, creating a sophisticated decorative cushion that celebrates one of the most recognisable designs of the 20th century.
