A Perfect Fit: FLOR and Alexander Girard

Two brands committed to design and innovation partner to develop a unique and colorful area rug collection.
Alexander Girard Area Rug in Azul, Mandarina and Verde

As a business owner, I'm always on the look out for new opportunities to develop and expand our business and our audience.  When we were approached by maXimo to develop an area rug collection using the iconic designs of the renowned Herman Miller textile designer, Alexander Girard, we viewed it as a perfect fit for our company.

FLOR was founded on the concepts of innovation and beautiful design.  It's what sets us apart.  Girard, as one of the most influential designers in the modern era, is also known for his innovative, whimsical and beautiful designs.  We saw this partnership as a fit with our brand values.

It isn't always so clear.  With Girard, it was a no-brainer - a perfect fit.  But, sometimes, when it isn't necessarily so clear cut, it means having to walk away from supposed opportunities that on the surface sound reasonable but really do not speak to your company's true beliefs and values.  That's not easy to do; but, being true to your brand is what today's discriminating consumers not only expect and demand, but deserve.

I really love this new collection.  Check it out here.
