The design translates one of Girard’s original drawings into a whimsical, geometric, circuit-like motif. Reflecting the era’s fascination with emerging electronics, the playful abstraction is characteristic of Girard’s influential approach to textile design.

Originally drawn in 1957, “Transistors” remains one of Girard’s recognisable textile designs and continues to be used in decorative and upholstery applications.
