Wooden Doll no.11 Designed by Alexander Girard in 1963 - Alongside Charles and Ray Eames as well as George Nelson, Alexander Girard was one of the decisive figures in post-War American design. The Wooden Dolls, which Girard created for his own home in Santa Fe and made himself, are inspired by his own extensive collection of works of Art. Half decorative, half toy, the Wooden Dolls which are partly joyful, partly grim looking are a playful enhancement to any interior.
