Plant structures are omnipresent in Claude Lalanne's work, in a variety of forms such as mirrors, candelabras and stair railings, but it is when they are transformed into chandeliers that they achieve a singular artistic expression. Our gilded patinated bronze chandelier, embellished with delicately sculpted leaves, is a perfect illustration of this approach. A true tribute to nature, an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the artist, it captures the very essence of flora.

With its harmonious proportions and carefully arranged ornamentation, this unique piece bears witness to Claude Lalanne's genius for marryingfunctionality and poetry. Our chandelier, while retaining its usefulness, becomes a work of art. Its gently curving branches and plant motifs make it much more than a simple decorative element, but a true celebration of nature in all its grace. This remarkable example underlines Claude Lalanne's ability to infuse his creations with a timeless poetry, while remaining true to his artistic vision deeply rooted in the beauty of the natural world.
