The Super Large Wooden Dolls are numbered and limited to 1000 pieces per model.
The 'Super Large' version of Vitra Wooden Doll is enlarged to a scale of 4.15:1 and measures approximately 80 cm in height. Like the smaller models, the super large Wooden Dolls are crafted and painted by hand - true to the originals by Alexander Girard.
Together with his friends Charles and Ray Eames and George Nelson, Alexander Girard was one of the leading figures of postwar American design. A key source of inspiration for his wide-ranging oeuvre, which primarily focused on textile design, was his passion for the folk art of South America, Asia and Eastern Europe.
The decorative Wooden Dolls, designed and made by Girard in 1953 for his own home in Santa Fe, were likewise inspired by his extensive personal collection of folk art. Part decorative object, part toy, the Wooden Dolls were originally created for Girard’s own use. Based on originals found in the Girard Estate held by the Vitra Design Museum, the whimsical assortment of dolls, both joyful and grim, is now available as a charming enhancement to any interior.
