claude and francois-xavier lalanne


a couple of days ago i put together a post on color, and in it, i included a bronze rabbit that sparked some interest. the husband and wife artists, claude and francois-xavier lalanne, dream up the most curious things. what a great way to spend a life together.
francois-xavier: i would like to make a desk in the shape of a rhinoceros.
claude: moi aussi!

how fantastic, just like charles and ray, two peas in an incredibly inspired pod. their book, available from amazon, is surely worth a look, hopefully showing some of their smaller bronze works that i adore.

Hi Amy:
There's a guy in Chicago, JC Price Moore, who built a bathroom with a wood floor. It --and his profile-- can be seen at

I do hope you see this little message and it helps you with your bathroom ideas.
