A close friend of post-war American designers George Nelson, and Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard had a love of traditional folk art, toys and miniatures coupled with an adventurous sense of colour. Girard designed everything from architecture to furniture and textiles, and in 1963 started making wooden dolls inspired by a growing collection of art from Mexico, South America, Asia and Eastern Europe.
