Description
The charming Vitra Mermaid is part of the Silhouettes series, originally designed in 1965. This 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.
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. Sadly, the restaurant never came into being, but the plans and drawings by Alexander Girard were preserved and 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.
Presented in a high-quality wooden box, the Girard Mermaid Silhouette is perfect for gifting.
