Description
Les Wooden Dolls d'Alexander Girard sont une famille de figures sculptées représentant des personnages humains et des animaux. Inspiré par les objets d'art populaire de sa collection personnelle, Girard a créé ces objets décoratifs en 1952 pour son propre usage dans sa maison de Santa Fe. À l'échelle 4.15:1, les Wooden Dolls No. 1 et No. 9 super large, qui mesurent environ 80 centimètres de haut, ne sont plus les petites figurines décoratives, mais des personnalités audacieuses jouant un rôle de premier plan dans tout environnement. Comme les petits modèles, les Wooden Dolls Vitra géantes sont fabriquées et peintes à la main, fidèles à l'esprit des originaux d'Alexander Girard. Bien que les différences puissent être très subtiles, chaque exemplaire en bois est véritablement une pièce unique.
Les Wooden Dolls super large Vitra sont des éditions numérotées et limitées à 1000 pièces par modèle.

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.
