Description
Inspiré par sa vaste collection d'œuvres d'art populaire, l'architecte et designer Alexander Girard crée les Wooden Dolls pour sa propre maison à Santa Fe, destinées uniquement à son usage personnel. Entre l'objet de décoration et le jouet, les Wooden Dolls sont désormais disponibles au grand public, pour enrichir votre aménagement intérieur. Les Wooden Dolls font partie de la collection du Vitra Design Museum, reconnues internationalement, et exposées dans de nombreux musées et galeries de design. Incontournables, ces petites poupées fabriquées et peintes à la main en bois de pin massif, sont vendues dans leur écrin en bois imprimé. Les Wooden Dolls vous charmeront sans aucun doute, que vous en ayez une ou plusieurs, car ces objets insolites sont, selon le designer : « un microcosme du monde humain et des rêves , elles représentent la fantaisie, l'imagination, l'humour et l'amour ».

Alexander GIRARD
Born in 1907 in New York, Alexander Girard is one of the emblematic figures of post-war American design. Trained as an architect, he remained in the shadows for a long time before becoming head of the fabrics and textiles division of publisher Herman Miller, for whom he created a multitude of brightly coloured fabrics with a strong taste for geometric patterns and abstract shapes. These inspirations have their roots in travels and discoveries around the world. He was also friends with designers George Nelson and Charles & Ray Eames. Alexander Girard stands out not only for his furniture designs, but also for his series of quirky wooden figures known as "Wooden Dolls" or "Figurine Dolls". Now published by Vitra, his work is still echoing. In 1962, with the help of his wife, he created the Girard Foundation, listing a collection of over 100,000 pieces. When he died in 1993, his heirs donated his archive of sketches, prototypes and samples to the Vitra Design Museum.
