"Alexander Girard would be thrilled to see his designs on FLOR carpet tiles today," said Matt Rembe, Founder, máXimo. "The La Fonda del Sol sun pattern is one of Girard's most iconic designs and FLOR is the ideal partner to bring these vibrant designs into people's homes for the first time."

Here Comes the Sun:
The Girard line of FLOR modular carpet tiles is based on Girard's "sun" designs from La Fonda del Sol restaurant, which was open in New York City between 1961 and 1971. The entire restaurant, including the furniture, dishes, and placemats, was designed by Girard and ultimately helped secure his legacy as one of the great designers of the time.

The four, six-tile rug designs, measuring 3-by-5-feet, are now available for $159.99 and can be purchased through www.FLOR.com, the FLOR catalog and select retailers. The four (sun)sational designs include:

• La Fonda del Sol Verde (Green Sun)
• La Fonda del Sol Pequeño (Small Sun)
• La Fonda Del Sol Mandarina (Tangerine Sun)
• La Fonda del Sol Azul (Blue Sun)
• Have Fun in the Sun with Easy Installation

FLOR's modular carpet tile format allows the ability to design, change, move and recreate area rugs and runners or even wall-to-wall carpet with ease. FLOR's quick and easy installation process begins with FLORdots -- no professional installation required.

FLORdots stick securely to the underside of each carpet tile and attach tiles to each other, notthe floor, so FLOR won't damage the surface beneath. FLORdots let you change your mind, rearrange tiles, refresh a room with a few new tiles for a seasonal change, or pick up a tile or two for cleaning.
