Lalanne(s)
On les appelle Les Lalanne comme on nomme leurs œuvres: des Lalannes. Dès leur première exposition à Paris en 1964, Claude et François-Xavier Lalanne ne firent ainsi qu'un aux yeux du public - comme de la critique - qui attribuait indifféremment à l'un ou l'autre des créations de facture pourtant bien différente. L'œuvre de Claude, issue du moulage et de la galvanoplastie, est d'esprit profondément 'baroque quand celle de François-Xavier tend à l'épure. La première est improvisée au cours de sa réalisation selon les affinités électives que Claude constate soudain entre les objets les plus divers: le moulage d'une pomme et l'empreinte d'une bouche, la forme incurvée, d'une...
Claude and Francois-Xavier Lalanne
Revered and collected by design connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike, the work of husband-and-wife team Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne defies categorization. Crossing between sculpture and the functional object, the designs by the Lalannes—such as a hammered brass rhino-cum-desk—are whimsical and elegant with references to ancient French craftsmanship and twentieth-century Surrealism. This is the first intimate visual biography of their work, as well as the studio and life of the Lalannes. Never-before-seen photographs of their studio and home life—where study models and unfinished sculptures reveal a true portrait of the artists at work—are combined with the finished works shown in galleries and gardens, including an installation on the grassy median of Park Avenue in New York and their largest outdoor exhibition at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden outside of Miami. Transforming visual imagery of flora and fauna into delightfully sensual, dreamlike objects, the designs by the Lalannes have been sought by the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Jacques Grange, and Peter Marino. This publication makes their work and process understandable, and ultimately accessible.
Claude & François Xavier Lalanne
A photographic study of the sculpture of both Claude and Francois-Xavier Lalanne, whose work is accomplished through "the most classical of treatments: stylization by way of an economy of means".
Francois-Xavier and Claude Lalanne: In the Domain of Dreams
The Lalannes' charming, dreamy, and surrealistic body of functional sculptures, once a guarded secret for exclusive collectors such as Yves Saint Laurent and the Agnellis, is celebrated in full in this stunning new book. The legendary husband-and-wife artist team has been the inspiration for high-society collectors and decorators, such as Pierre Bergé, Serge Gainsbourg, Peter Marino, Jane Holzer, and Reed Krakoff for over five decades. Crossing over many audiences - from interior design to fine art to high society, the works of the Lalannes have aspirational yet broad appeal. Their surreal flock of sheep sculpture is now de rigeur for any important collection, while their functional hippopotamus wet bar sells for millions of dollars at auction. Highly collected and promoted by an important group of art insiders, Lalanne works are often the focus of the well-curated room, as seen in many magazine covers. This book on their work will appeal to decorators, designers, artists, and all those who love beautiful art objects.
The Lalannes

Published to coincide with a 1998 exhibition held at the Chateau de Bagatelle in Paris (and published simultaneously in French by Flammarion as Les Lalannes)
