It is rare to go to an exhibition and want to take every single object home. The exhibition of the works of the married couple Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs is pure joy. Ignorant Anna had never heard of them before.
The exhibition includes a bar commissioned by Yves Saint Laurent (which sold at the Christie's YSL sale last year for US $3.5m) and a sculpted grasshopper (1.85m long and opens up to also be a bar) which is similar to the one that President Pompidou gave the The Queen after her state visit to France in 1972.
I also loved this bed. 
But would have been happy just to take home the cabbage.
Hopefully this link here will take you to the Museum's page for more images. The exhibition is on until 4th July. I'm not sure if you say Les Lalanne or Les Lalannes as the catalogue said one thing and yet the brochure said the other.

Completely wild and magnificent! I loved the rhino! Would probably be too spooked to sleep in the bed though.. :)
