Description

Vitra Ceramic Container 2

Vitra's ceramic containers represent the playful design language typical of the American designer Alexander Girard, where functionality is combined with a sculptural flair. The silhouettes are reminiscent of the traditional shapes of apothecary jars. The pot is a striking element in your home, whether used simply as a decorative accessory or as a striking storage space for keys and other small items.

The original pots, designed in 1952, were turned by hand from wood by Girard himself and today they can be found in the archives of the Vitra Design Museum. In order to make the beautiful works more widely available again, Vitra has joined forces with the Girard family to develop ceramic versions of them and introduce Ceramic Containers in 2021. The hand-glazed boxes are available in various shapes in a range of shades inspired by Girard's color palette.


Material: Hand glazed ceramic
Dimensions: Height 25 cm, Diameter 14 cm.

The designer,

Alexander Girard (1907-1993) was an American designer and architect who worked in interior, furniture, textile and industrial design, collaborating with Herman Miller from 1952 to 1975. Among his colleagues George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames, Girard has been considered one of the pioneers of American design of the mid-twentieth century. His best-known designs include the restaurant La Fonda del Sol in New York and the Girard Foundation in San Diego, which houses Girard's extensive folk art collection.
