ORCHARD HOUSE

In 2020, interior designer Chelsea Hing designed this residential project in Melbourne’s North Eastern suburb of Park Orchards, Australia.

ECKARTSAU CASTLE

June 2021, Behan&Thurm (David Tekeli) designed the interior of the Eckartsau Castle in Austria.

Jean-Baptiste Souletie’s Planet chairs are beautifully displayed in the residential office space of the Österreichische Bundesforste (ÖBf – Austrian Forest and Lumber Industry), next to Note Design Studio’s armchairs, who have also designed several projects for La Chance.

Eckartsau Castle is an important historical place : Kaiser Karl, the last emperor of Austria signed his abdication there before he had to leave the country. The castle also constitutes a typical historical scenery, in which some parts of the famous movie Sissi where shot.

 

Nowadays, some areas of the castle can be used for events like weddings, hence the soft hues, smooth materials and round shapes chosen by the architect.

SALONE DEL MOBILE 2019

April 2019, La Chance presented its cosmic booth at the Fiera Rho, during the Salone del Mobile in Milan : 80 sqm space to show new and iconic pieces of the collection.

 

Photo credits : La Chance

In the same mood as Maison & Objet La Chance’s booth last January, the classic pieces and the new creations were presented in a moon themed surealistic environment. The presentation was organized  in 6 scenes set before a lunar landscape background, creating an interesting play with the textures and reflections of the products. 

PLANET chair by Jean-Baptiste Souletie

 

Planet is an upholstered chair inspired by the distinctive silhouette of planet Saturn. The rings of the 6th planet from the solar system are mostly composed of ice particles and form a smooth ellipsis that inspired the shape of the wooden back supporting the round cushion of Planet. The subtle texture of solid wood paired with the delicate touch of a wool broadcloth by Maison Pierre Frey give the Planet a soft and luxurious feel. The Planet chair combines the poetry of celestial bodies with the cold technicity of space modules as the mat black metal structure brings a contrasting technical feel.

BLOCK lounge chair by Jonas Lutz

 

Block is a lounge armchair inspired by the Brutalist architectural movement. Two massive blocks of walnut which are the structure and the armrests, give the armchair its singular silhouette. This geometric identity is balanced by the lightness and comfort of the seat upholstered in a Bouclette fabric or a luxurious sheepskin.

ZAG coat hooks by Studio Bling

 

Zag is a family of coat hooks. Their varied shapes are inspired by barrettes, pins, or twisted metal rods combined to create a graphic composition. Each element offers a different way to hang your clothes, your bag, or any accessory. The modern ‘sans serif’ fonts simple and strong shapes were used by Bling studio to create these metal shapes. The lines intersect and combine to create graphic shadows on your wall. You can create your own sculptural composition by combining the Zag elements. 3 sets of 2 Zag hooks are available with different colors. You can combine them for a visually infinite number of compositions.

FAX pendant lamps by Jean-Baptiste Souletie

 

The Fax pendant lamp is a large marble pendant light. The flat LED dimable source is surrounded by a thin slab of marble (white, green, or black) held by four brass bolts with gilloche pattern. The 3 shapes (rectangle, oblong, or ‘stamp edge’) allow to create numerous compositions.  The overall thickness is only 3cm.

For the Salone del Mobile, the Sunday collection designed by La Chance studio is getting bigger and La Chance presents its first bed : solid walnut frame, marble legs and headboard with a luxurious Lelievre upholstery. 

Sunday is a family of dinner tables, coffee tables and console tables made of marble legs and a wooden top. The different species of stone and wood have been carefully selected and permit an infinite number of combinations to create unique and timeless pieces.

Bump is a collection of cabinets in galvanized steel and marble. The name comes from the ‘Bump’ on each door where you push to open the doors. 

Galvanization is a process traditionally associated with heavy industry and used to protect metals against corrosive substances. Steel is submerged in a bath of protective molten yellow zinc which creates this unique iridescent colour and shades.

A Bump prototype was first presented at Spazio Rossana Orlandi in Milan 2016 by Czech Designers Jan Plechac & Henry Wielgus. This piece was the base concept for a 2 years work between La Chance and the designers to develop the Bump collection of credenza and cabinets.

Salone Del Mobile 2017

SALONE DEL MOBILE 2017

April 2017, La Chance presented its classics and new pieces of the 2017 collection during the Salone del Mobile in Milan.

Photo credits : La Chance

Interior designers asked for it and La Chance did it! The Borghese Sofa is now available in a longer and even more sculptural version (248cm vs. 188cm).

Ideal for hotel lobbys and larger spaces. In addition, La Chance brings new fabrics and finishes for bespoke projects.

La Chance had an instant crush on Bump  when it  was first presented at Spazio Rossana Orlandi  in 2016. We decided to work with the successfull czech duo Jan&Henry on an updated version. The Credenza is made of metal with a marble top. Bump’s  iridescent color reminds the reflects of the beetle’s carapace. Indeed, the insect (the same as in our logo) was the theme for 2017 products.

La Chance presented in Milan the work of Swedish artist: the pieces will be on the show among La Chance collection. Jenny Nordberg is a conceptual artist working on unique mirrors. They are a part of the “3 to 5 second project”: the idea was to present “almost ready mades”. The artist drops liquid silver on glass to create the uneven and one of a kind pieces. Perception is troubled by the blend of transparency and reflection.
