{"product_id":"vitra-silhouette-mermaid","title":"Vitra Silhouette Mermaid","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eSilhouette Mermaid\u003c\/b\u003e by Vitra is a graceful metal figure that traces back to 1965, when Alexander Girard was commissioned to design the interior of the New York restaurant \"La Reserve\". For the project, he created a series of atmospheric metal figures that seem to dance, known as the Silhouettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlaced between the dining tables, the figures were meant to bring a cheerful expression into the room while creating an atmospheric distance between guests. It is a playful idea, and one that reflects Girard's celebrated sense of warmth, colour and folk-inspired storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the restaurant was never realised, Girard's plans and drawings have been preserved and are part of the Alexander Girard Collection at the Vitra Design Museum. Together with the Girard family, Vitra studied the ideas behind \"La Reserve\" and decided to bring the Silhouettes to life, starting with the Bull and Mermaid motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mermaid is crafted from powder-coated metal and fitted with felt glides, so it sits softly on shelves, sideboards and tabletops without marking the surface. It measures \u003cb\u003e12.9 cm in width, 28.6 cm in height and 5.8 cm in depth\u003c\/b\u003e, making it a compact piece that suits a console, bookshelf or dining table alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Silhouette Mermaid arrives in a high-quality printed wooden box together with an informative booklet, which makes it a considered gift for design enthusiasts and collectors of Alexander Girard's work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55450871726423,"sku":null,"price":109.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2646\/3734\/files\/silhouette-mermaid-850891.jpg?v=1792157932","url":"https:\/\/lamptwist.com\/products\/vitra-silhouette-mermaid","provider":"LampTwist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
