Description Description

François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne are one of the most creative couples of the last century, celebrated for their surrealist sculptural works. Their pieces are as functional as they are whimsical, whether it's the belly of a hippopotamus that opens up to reveal a wet bar, newts cast from unfolded leaves to form a fork, or a tangle of twigs intertwined to form a bench.

With every purchase of Assouline's Ultimate Collection, a pair of white gloves and a canvas bag are included as a gift.

More information

Celebrating François-Xavier and Claude’s ever-enchanting and whimsical sculptures, this tome, part of Assouline’s Ultimate Collection, explores some of their most iconic pieces from their rich corpus of work. Author Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand, a gallerist and long-time friend of the couple, writes a superb text that traces the Lalannes’ meteoric rise, from their early days at Paris’s Impasse Ronsin and their first exhibition, which caught the eye of gallerist Alexandre Iolas, to their lasting legacy as one of design’s most inventive and poetic masters.

About the author

Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand opened his first gallery in 1988 in the 6th arrondissement of Paris; in 2003, it moved to the rue du Temple, where it is still located today. Mitterrand has almost 45 years of experience collaborating with Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne, and more than 20 exhibitions have been dedicated to Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne at the gallery, which has also organised numerous renowned events in exceptional locations such as the Château de Chenonceau in 1994, the Jardins de Bagatelle in 1998, and the Petit Trianon at the Château de Versailles in 2021. Over the years, Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand has become an undisputed expert on the art of Les Lalannes, and has produced a dozen books and catalogues dedicated to their work.

About the brand

Assouline, where culture meets luxury It all began in 1993, when Martine and Prosper Assouline found themselves at the La Colombe d'Or hotel in France, one of their most beloved places in the world. As they experienced its beauty together, their curiosity about life and love of books inspired them to make their own tome about the hotel. Prosper took the photos, Martine wrote the text, and La Colombe D'Or became their first book, published in 1994. Today, every Assouline book continues to be created with the same union of talent and passion: Martine's editorial direction and Prosper's creative vision.
