French Bespoke Bronze Crocodile Coffee Table by Patrick Laroche

Price Upon Request
  • Description
    French Bespoke Bronze Crocodile Coffee Table by Patrick Laroche.
    Bronze low table with a curve that evokes the texture of crocodile scales. The four legs
    are polished bronze. An elegant piece that harmoniously blends animalistic and organic
    forms.

    Patrick Laroche, born in 1959, is a Franco-Swiss sculptor whose work bridges classical
    craftsmanship and contemporary expression. He began his artistic journey in Belgium in 1985,
    studying under Roger de Jonckheere, Prix de Rome laureate, from whom he learned essential
    techniques like marble cutting, molding, and pantograph instrument. These skills became the
    foundation of his practice in stone, bronze, marble, and wood.
    In the 1990s, his talent earned him significant commissions, including reproductions for the
    Louvre Museum (such as the Victory of Samothrace) and involvement in archaeological
    projects like the Topkapi Palace restoration in Istanbul. In 1992, Chanel commissioned him for
    design work following Karl Lagerfeld’s visit. He received the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de
    France award in 1997 for a marble bust.

    More recently, Laroche returned to his preferred materials to create the Art furniture series,
    blending artistic expression with functionality. Inspired by ancient art and archaeology, these
    pieces evoke mysterious, architectural forms—sculptures that double as furniture, where
    doors and shapes hint at symbolic worlds. This fusion reflects his desire to make everyday
    objects poetic.

    Over a 35-year career, Patrick Laroche has held more than 100 exhibitions worldwide. His
    works are part of permanent collections in France, Canada, USA, Spain, and Poland.
