About the designer (Luc Lanel):
Director of Christofle from 1920 to 1946, Luc Lanel (1893-1965) is one of the iconic figures of French Art Deco. A pioneer of modern silverware with geometric and uncluttered shapes, he is especially famous for having designed the full table service for the mythical liner Normandie (Atlas model in 1933).

The model “Boréal,” created at the same time, perfectly embodies this avant-garde spirit highly sought after by collectors.
