Wooden Doll No. 9 Super Large

The Wooden Dolls by Alexander Girard are a family of carved figures representing human and animal characters. Inspired by his personal collection of folk art, Girard made these decorative items for his own home in Santa Fe in 1952. The originals belong to the Girard Estate held by the Vitra Design Museum and serve as models for re-editions by Vitra. At a scale of 4.15:1, the super large Wooden Dolls No. 1 and No. 9 transform the petite decorative figures into bold characters of around 80 centimetres in height, which command a leading role in any setting. Like the smaller models, the super large Wooden Dolls are crafted and painted by hand true to the originals by Alexander Girard. Although the differences may be very subtle, each wooden specimen is in fact unique. The super large Wooden Dolls are numbered and limited to 1000 pieces per model.
