The Vitra Girard Bird, named for its creator, the inimitable Alexander Girard, is a playful and enchanting sculpted object.
Carved from solid maple wood, the Girard Bird is a part of Vitra's formidable line of home goods, and is ripe for rediscovery. First produced in 1945, the Bird is a simple and unassuming piece, which opens up in detail the more it is examined. Minimalist and elegant, Girard strips back the aesthetic of the bird to its simplest form, to reveal something archaic and yet still magnificently appealing.
