Designer
Claude Lalanne was one of the few women of her generation to study architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts i Paris. She then went on to the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs to further pursue her interest in decorative arts. Claude Lalanne worked closely with her husband, François-Xavier Lalanne, and the couple became known as "Les Lalannes". While François-Xavier often focused on the animal world, Claude instead turned her attention to the plant world.

Claude Lalanne's works navigated the boundaries between art, fashion, and sculpture.
