Dinanderie Vase for CHRISTOFLE
Small Art Deco vase designed by Luc Lanel for Christofle, featuring a warm red-brown ground animated by flowing silver wave motifs. The piece was produced using dinanderie, a technique that combines hand-worked base metal with silver plating, creating a striking contrast between matte surface and luminous ornament. The rhythmic wave pattern reflects the streamlined elegance and modern geometry of the Art Deco period.

He is best known for his innovative use of metal and for iconic designs presented at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris. Lanel’s work for Christofle helped define the company’s modern identity, blending traditional craftsmanship with bold, forward-looking design.
