La Chance: redefining the boundaries of French collectible design
Renowned for its sculptural aesthetic and dedication to craftsmanship, La Chance has firmly established itself in the contemporary French design landscape. Now, the brand embarks on a new chapter, introducing iconic creations, reissues of historic pieces, and a renewed emphasis on exceptional savoir-faire.
A bold and visionary collection emerges from La Chance’s collaboration with Anthony Guerrée, a designer known for his meticulous exploration of materials. His creations challenge the boundaries between functionality and aesthetic expression, shaping wood, marble, metal, and glass with near-architectural precision. Each piece is a study in balance—between volumes, textures, and light.
The Eclipse Table stands as a monolithic presence in solid wood, drawing inspiration from Eduardo Chillida’s sculptural language. Here, mass and void interact in a striking interplay of balance and contrast. With Forma Dividing Screen, Guerrée transcends the traditional function of a room divider, transforming it into an architectural statement—a tribute to Carl Andre’s minimalist vision.
Each creation in Guerrée’s collection for La Chance is conceived as a habitable sculpture—a functional object that also serves as the focal point of a sophisticated interior.
The Orbe Sofa redefines modularity, incorporating sculptural elements in stone or aluminum. More than just seating, it becomes an architectural system, reimagining the very essence of the sofa.
A tribute to the geometric purity of Donald Judd, the Marfa Table expresses the power of essential forms and raw materials through a language that is both radical and contemporary.
With this collection, La Chance reaffirms its status in the realm of collectible design, bridging tradition and innovation in a continuous search for timeless sculptural forms—bold, vibrant, and unmistakably contemporary. Expanding this evolution, two new pieces embody the collection’s duality between minimalism and sculptural presence: the Pause Chair, designed by Timothée Mion, and the Iris Lamp. The Pause Chair merges architectural precision with material warmth. Its silhouette, defined by two parallel vertical bars, evokes the minimalist purity of Anne Truitt’s work and echoes the universally recognized symbol of "pause." The contrast between steel and solid wood creates a delicate equilibrium between structure and lightness.
Designed by La Chance’s artistic director, Jean-Baptiste Souletie, the Iris Lamp is a luminous sculpture inspired by the mechanics of a camera diaphragm. Geometric metal and wooden surfaces diffuse a soft, immersive light reminiscent of James Turrell’s works. Available as a pendant or wall sconce, Iris transforms light into an aesthetic experience, embodying the essence of contemporary design.
What makes these pieces extraordinary is the seamless fusion of creative vision and masterful craftsmanship. Collaborating with Europe's finest artisans, La Chance elevates the raw beauty of materials through exceptional processes. Hand-cast aluminum bears the imprint of sand, celebrating its raw tactility. Fine woods, carved with traditional techniques, embrace their natural grain as an integral design element. Rare marbles and cast glass with irregular surfaces engage with light, creating mesmerizing reflections.
