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. She employed techniques such as casting, pressed decorative elements, and electroplating, for example, to create leaves, stems, and petals in bronze with a naturalistic precision. Claude Lalanne's works navigated the boundaries between art, fashion, and sculpture.
