Description
The silhouettes: a series of atmospheric figures in metal that look as if they were dancing. It was designed by Alexander Girard in 1965. Thus, this sculpture is made of powder-coated steel.
Either as an additional home decoration or simply for sightseeing, these silhouettes nevertheless bring a playful emotion throughout the day.
"Together with his friends Charles and Ray Eames and George Nelson, Alexander Girard was one of the leading figures of post-war American design. Thus, while textiles were the primary focus of Girard's oeuvre, he was frequently commissioned to design complete interiors." - Vitra

Brand
Vitra is much more than a brand but rather a staple of design. Established in 1950 in Birsfelden, Switzerland, the brand has left its mark on design history through its transcending path. Starting as a furniture producer, it paved its way to manufacturing and ultimately became the powerhouse design institution we see today.
