"Toys," said Alexander Girard, "represent a microcosm of man's world and dreams; they exhibit fantasy, imagination, humor and love." In addition to his work in textiles, Girard distinguished himself as a designer of furniture, interiors and even toys. He also had a strong interest in folk art, and in 1963, he created a collection of Wooden Dolls for his own Santa Fe home. Working from the originals, the Vitra Design Museum has reissued models 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9 of Girard's brightly painted, semi-abstract and sculptural figures. Each doll comes individually packaged in a printed wooden gift box.
