2010 Designer Furniture World Cup: Finland 0-Mexico 1

The familiar nature of Group D was continued with this meeting of two grandees of the international designer furniture circuit: Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard.

With both still having an outside chance of qualifying for the semi-finals the start was edgy and imprecise.

Alexander Girard however was first to find his rhythm and came close with an intricate Names fabric. Eero Saarinen responded with a clever Grasshopper chair, a move which produced the most delightful Millerstripe Multicoloured bright and neutral combination response from Alexander Girard.

And the 1:0 lead.

And with his travelling army of Wooden Dolls cheering him on Girard held on for  deserved victory.
