## Summary

Luxury linen hardcover art book titled 'Lalanne: A World of Poetry', featuring a gold-toned sculptural ram on the cover and gold foil typography.

## Description

Housed in a luxury linen clamshell case with a metal plaque, this spectacular tome is a sculpture in its own right. 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 hinging open to reveal a wet bar, tritones fused from unfurled leaves to form a fork, or a tangle of twigs intertwined to form a bench. In celebration of 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 body of work. Author Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand, the couple’s longtime gallerist and friend, pens a magnificent text that traces the Lalannes’s meteoric rise, from their early days in Paris’s Impasse Ronsin and their first show that caught the attention of gallerist Alexandre Iolas, to their lasting legacy as one of design’s most inventive and poetic masters. Complimentary white gloves and signature canvas tote bag are included with each purchase from Assouline's Ultimate Collection.
