About the Item

Superb and extremely rare limited edition Memphis mid-century design blue cement, beaver hair and plexiglas mantel clock by Hilton McConnico for Lanvin, manufactured by Hour Lavigne in 1992. The clock is signed and numbered 29/50. In its original box with use notice and original clock key in the shape of the Lanvin signet. The movement seems to function when the key is turned but there is no guarantee as to the exactitude of the movement. Dimensions in cm ( H x L x l ) : 28.7 x 20.5 x 8 Hilton McConnico was a self-taught fashion designer. He officially launched his first atelier at 16 years old, and discovered Paris after winning a challenge organized by the magazine Vogue, city where he moved two years later. After working in fashion for such designers as Ted Lapidus and Yves St. Laurent, he was set designer & art director for more than 20 films, including the cult classic Diva. In 1990 Memphis Brooks Museum of Art held a retrospective of 30 years of his creations. His collaboration with Daum crystal began in 1987; some of his "Cactus" creations for the manufacturer were presented by former French President François Mitterrand to President George H. W. Bush as a gift of state. He was also the first American to have work permanently inducted into the Louvre's Decorative Arts collection. McConnico remained active on the global design scene, especially in architecture and interior design. Later projects included the Toupary restaurant on the fifth-floor of the historic Samaritaine department store and the Hermes Museum in Tokyo, which he conceived for the new Renzo Piano building in the famed Ginza shopping district and a collection of limited series and unique pieces for Formia International in Murano Glass.
