François-Xavier Lalanne deliberately blurred the boundaries between artist and craftsman, exploring the balance between the two.
.⠀
‘This work, “Grand Mouflon de Pauline” is emblematic of the playfulness Lalanne showed throughout his career,’ says Jeremy Morrison, our European Head of Design at Christie's London (@morrisonmodern).
.⠀
‘He toys with our senses by bringing a wild animal “inside”, and gives the form a hidden and unexpected function: a writing desk. It’s this contrast, between the familiar and the unexpected, which gives the work of Les Lalanne their impact and power.’
.⠀
François-Xavier Lalanne (1927–2008), ‘Grand Mouflon de Pauline’, designed 1993, this example 2006. Patinated bronze, leather, wood and brass, with red-painted interior, 52 x 48 x 18 ½ in. (132 x 122 x 47 cm.) Estimate: £400,000–600,000.
