Description
Alexander Girard's Wooden Dolls are a family of sculpted figures representing human characters and animals. Inspired by the folk art objects in his personal collection, Girard created these decorative objects in 1952 for his own use in his home in Santa Fe. At 4.15:1 scale, the Wooden Dolls No. 1 and No. 9 super large, measuring around 80 centimetres in height, are no longer small decorative figurines, but bold personalities playing a leading role in any environment. Like the smaller models, the giant Wooden Dolls Vitra are made and painted by hand, true to the spirit of Alexander Girard's originals. Although the differences can be very subtle, each wooden piece is truly unique.
The Wooden Dolls super large Vitra are numbered editions limited to 1000 pieces per model.

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.
