*Claude LALANNE (1925-2019) - Lot 136
*Claude LALANNE (1925-2019)
Silver-plated bronze bag buckle
Signed and numbered 12/150
Artcurial Editions
Dimensions : 13 x 8 cm
Note: A major figure in 20th-century French design and sculpture, Claude Lalanne and François-Xavier Lalanne developed an immediately recognizable poetic universe, where nature becomes jewelry, furniture or sculpture. His work, celebrated by leading collectors and institutions, blends botanical observation with a rare delicacy and goldsmith's skill.
This item was part of the "Clématite" bag created in 1989. It perfectly illustrates this spirit: an intertwining plant life animated by flowers and foliage in subtle relief, whose free composition evokes a miniature sculpture to be worn. Signed and numbered, it testifies to the artist's attention to the editions of her works and her taste for precious everyday objects transformed into works of art.
At the crossroads of jewelry, sculpture and collector's item, this creation will appeal as much to design enthusiasts as to collectors of the Lalanne universe, now particularly sought-after on the international market.
