Design as a second life. After studying Political Sciences and Marketing Management, Alain Gilles went on to work in the financial world. But one has to live one's own life. So, thanks to the moral support of his wife, he went back to studying Industrial design in France.
He assisted Xavier Lust in his creations, but was eventually hired by Quinze & Milan before graduating. He worked for Arne Quinze for two and a half years as designer, developer and project manager on several high profile projects for world-renowned architects and editors.
He founded his own studio in 2007 in order to pursue his own dreams and develop his personal approach to product design, furniture design, art direction and interior architecture.
He has since started to collaborate with several international firms, such as Urbastyle, Qui est Paul? and Bonaldo.
