Description

Vitra Girard Bird.

Girard Bird by Vitra is a design from the 1940s when the American designer Alexander Girard experimented with different materials for making sculptures. In addition to glass, cardboard and plywood works, he also carved figures from solid wood – including a sympathetic bird figure, Girard Bird.

The original bird, hand-carved from apple tree by Girard, is preserved in the archives of the Vitra Design Museum, but in 2021 Vitra and the Girard family released a maple wood version of the bird. The archaic-looking sculpture can be placed on both the legs and the tail and can also be used, for example, as a particularly stylish bookend.


Material: Maple
Dimensions: Width 23.5 cm Depth 7.5 cm Height 15 cm.

About 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 regarded as one of the pioneers of mid-twentieth-century American design.

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.
