Vitra Wooden Doll Cat Small
Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: Alexander Girard, 1952
Folk Art for the Home
The Cat is one of the Wooden Dolls that Alexander Girard made for his own home in Santa Fe — hand-carved and painted, drawn from the folk art of South America, Asia and Eastern Europe that he spent a lifetime collecting. Like the rest of the series, it was never intended for production; it began as a personal object, part decorative figure, part toy. Girard was one of the defining figures of postwar American design, best known for his textile work, and the Dolls reflect the same eye for colour and pattern applied at a smaller, more intimate scale.
Based on an original from the Girard estate in the Vitra Design Museum collection, the Cat Small comes in a high-quality wooden gift box with a printed label and brochure.
