Vitra Wooden No 13 Doll Sculptures
The Wooden Dolls family has expanded with two new members of the animal kingdom. Along with Charles and Ray Eames and George Nelson, Alexander Girard is one of the most influential representatives of postwar American design. Although the essential point of his heterogeneous work was textile design, he made countless designs, highlighting these cute dolls, the Wooden Dolls, being partly decorative elements and partly toys that I make exclusively for personal use and enjoyment. His intense relationship with the popular art of South America, Asia and Eastern Europe was a primary source of inspiration. Solid hand-painted fir wood. It consists of three pieces joined by magnets. The dolls are supplied accompanied by brochures and packed in a high quality stamped wooden box.
With an ethos rooted in the belief that thoughts and feelings can be positively influenced by the good design around us, Vitra collaborates with designers and architects from all over the world to create life-improving homeware and furniture. Today, Vitra comprises an educational campus and a design museum, with recent developments putting the focus on the sustainable future of their iconic pieces ranging from chairs to clocks.
