Made of solid pine wood; hand-painted with mixed media, including feathers, twine, etc. Collect them all.

Together with his friends Charles and Ray Eames and George Nelson, Alexander Girard was one of the leading figures of postwar American design. The decorative Wooden Dolls, designed and made by Alexander Girard, affectionately known as Sandro, 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.
