These beautiful Wooden Dolls were a gift to my wife this year.  I only intended to buy one but I couldn’t let one doll stand all alone so I bought it some friends:P They were originally handcrafted by Alexander Girard in 1963 for personal use in his house in Santa Fe. I love the fact that they can either be a home decoration or a toy. It never went into production in the 60′s but it was recenty reproduced.

I got these from DWR.

It is well packaged in a wooden box along with an informative brochure that makes it feel more precious. They have a huge line of wooden dolls but I believe more are still to come. I hope one day to see the original in the Vitra Design Museum.
