EXPOSITION D'HIVER
La Chance settles into its new gallery on rue de Richelieu. From January 15 to March 1, the house presents a curated selction of new works – furniture, objects, and lighting – alongside a dsiplay of artworks developed in collaboration with Galerie Ketabi Bourdet, conceived as a natural dialogue
with the pieces on view. The exhibition also marks the unveiling of limited-edition works producedin the Parisian workshop integrated within the gallery.

La Chance continues its collaboration with
French designer Anthony Guerrée
The January presentation highlights the ongoing dialogue between La Chance and Anthony Guerrée, through pieces in which form remains legible while material carries the core of the narrative.
With Eclipse in its round version, the table asserts an almost ceremonial presence: an “offering table” resting on a wide, stable, deliberately massive base that echoes the architectural spirit of
the line. The black-and-white cerused wood finish, inspired by certain Art Deco references, introduces a subtle graphic contrast—at a distance, rigor; up close, a surface treatment that catches the light
and reveals the hand.
Marfa is revealed in a new version, featuring a double-fused
Murano glass top that evokes an “icy” materiality, seemingly frozen in transparency. Its deliberate irregularities become an optical quality—a living relief, far removed from industrial neutrality. The aluminum base, with its raw, cast-like character, anchors the piece in a direct sense of nobility. Here, upcycling is not a label but an aesthetic: a way of elevating transformation into a language.
La Chance welcomes a new Copenhagen-based studio
The gallery also presents the Para stools by Christian+Jade,
a Copenhagen-based studio. Their work employs a deliberately elementary vocabulary, constructed through the intersection of simple forms. Nothing is demonstrative; everything lies in the precision of proportions and the quality of execution. Spalted maple, leather seating, available in two natural tones—this radical simplicity allows no compromise, which is precisely what makes it desirable.
New works and pieces by the founders of La Chance
This January presentation is also an opportunity to discover several pieces authored by the founders themselves, where the object flirts with sculpture without ever losing its function.
With Rift, Louise Breguet introduces a volumetric mirror conceived as a limited-edition sculptural piece. Metal engages in dialogue with passementerie in a three-dimensional composition: reflection is no longer a surface, but a presence—an object that occupies space as much as it opens it.
The Iris lamp, designed by Jean-Baptiste Souletie, is presented for the first time in several versions. It is an ode to metal and its facets edges, reflections, tensions—like a piece of jewelry scaled for domestic space. Shown in chromed metal (triple version) and brushed brass, the lamp offers two interpretations of the same principle: a structured, precise light, never decorative in the superficial sense.
The Tower vase collection explores an almost physical relationship between transparency and opacity. Crystal disrupts perception, marble abruptly halts it: the ensemble plays with distortion, as if viewing a mineral depth through a shifting wave.
