Wooden Doll No.5

$265

The Wooden Dolls, which Alexander Girard created for his own home in Santa Fe and made himself (1952), are likewise inspired by his own extensive collection of works of popular art. Half decorative element, half toy, the Wooden Dolls were originally intended only for personal use. Based on originals found in the Girard Estate held by the Vitra Design Museum, the partly joyful, partly grim-looking company of dolls is now coming out as a charming enhancement to any interior.
