Description
Own a piece of design history with the Vitra Girard Bull Silhouette. In 1965, Alexander Girard was commissioned to design the New York restaurant La Reserve, for which he created a series of metal figures - the Silhouettes. They were to be positioned between the dining tables, adding a cheerful touch to the ambience. The restaurant La Reserve, unfortunately, never came into being, but the plans and drawings by Alexander Girard were preserved and are part of the Alexander Girard collection held by the Vitra Design Museum. Together with the Girard family, Vitra studied all the ideas developed for La Reserve and decided to bring the Silhouettes to life.
This charming decorative accessory can be placed on a shelf or sideboard in hallways, living spaces, home offices or bedrooms, where it brings elevated yet playful style to your home and acts as an intriguing conversation starter. The Girard Bull Silhouette is presented in a high-quality wooden box, making it a perfect gift for the design aficionado in your life.
