If you are looking for some fun accessories for the home, and something with a bit of history then you should take a look at these wooden dolls from Vitra. we love the vibrant colours and charm of these dolls, originally used as toys, now hugely popular as ornaments for collectors.

‘Together with his friends Charles and Ray Eames & George Nelson, Alexander Girard was one of the leading figures of postwar American design. A key source of inspiration for his wife-ranging oeuvre, which primarily focused on textile design, was.his passion for the folk art of South America, Asia and Eastern Europe.

The Decorative wooden dolls, design  and made by Girard in 1953 for his own home in Santa Fe, were likewise inspired by his extensive personal collection of folk art.

Based on the originals found in the Girard Estate by the Vitra Design Museum, the whimsical assortment of doils, both joyful and grim, is now available as a charming enhancement to any interior’

home: favourite thing [ clock ] 

With midcentury designs in furniture and Danish style being so popular currently we love this perfect modern reproduction of a Sputnik clock from high street favourite Marks & Spencer. 

‘With polished teak spokes and a spun aluminium dial, this clock gives a nod to Seventies design for retro statement style.’

Across the high street midcentury pieces are being produced and the styles from the era are influencing a lot of homewares and furniture. The great colours, fabric choices, wood tones and structures are desirable and homeware stores have got some great pieces.

Head to Marks and Spencer, Habitat, Heals, IKEA and Cult Furniture for easy midcentury-style finds but also look to search eBay for originals, reproductions and pieces that can be given a modern edge.
