10 designers, 9 countries, 1 collection

The creation of a new brand is a collective adventure. Every designer contributed to build the identity of La Chance . The product they designed for the first collection have really set the codes and aesthetics basics of La Chance.

La Chance has rallied the best talents of the effervescent French ‘Nouvelle Vague‘, but also seeks inspiration from around the world. Each designer of this resolutely international selection gave his interpretation of the French spirit La Chance tries to epitomize.

These creative exchange are the reason for the diversity and the richness of details of the first collection of furniture and lighting presented by La Chance : Jekyll & Hyde.
