When the bull dances with the mermaid: Silhouettes by Vitra

Commissioned for the New York restaurant La Reserve, Alexander Girard designed a series of atmospheric metal figures that appear as if they are dancing. Two figures from this series were reissued by Vitra together with Girard's family: the bull and the mermaid.

Dancing shadows

The Silhouettes were designed in 1965 together with the entire interior design of the restaurant. Placed between the dining tables, they were intended to provide a cheerful expression in the room and at the same time create an atmospheric distance between the guests. Alexander Girard was often entrusted with the elaboration of the interior of restaurants. For example, he designed the complete interior of the restaurants La Fonda del Sol in New York and Compound in Santa Fe - from the interior architecture and furnishings to the tableware and napkins.

La Reserve, however, was never realised. However, the designer's plans and drawings have been preserved and are part of the Alexander Girard Collection in the Vitra Design Museum. Initially, only the bull and the mermaid were realised by Vitra as figurines.

Material and size

The Silhouette figures are made of powder-coated steel and are delivered together with a brochure in a high-quality printed wooden box. Both figures are 12.9 cm wide and 5.8 cm deep. The mermaid is a little taller at 28.6 cm than the bull at 27.9 cm.
