“The Magical Universe of Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne”

Another good article by Wallpaper* Magazine linking to an upcoming auction of pieces produced by the French artists Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne. I have not heard about them but I am not an art guy.

This couple seem to be post-bohemians, if I can make up a word, and everything they produced seems light and cheery. They might be considered a less influential counterpart to Charles and Ray Eames some two decades earlier. In any case, Sotheby’s has a nice page on their work and I will have to look further into what they have done:
