About this product
Architonic ID: 20265813
Year of Launch: 2022
As its name suggests, the main characteristic of the elegant Backdrop sideboard by Alain Gilles is the vertical cut of the doors, which evokes a sense of calm, thanks to its repetition along the entire length.
The design of this piece of furniture is well-structured, drawing inspiration from the façades of modernist buildings: the vertical lines hide the grooves used to open the doors. The frame defining the sideboard is light and goes almost unnoticed, designed to discreetly and elegantly enhance the regularity of the front elements.
The Backdrop sideboard is available in Canaletto walnut.

Alain Gilles
Belgium
Alain Gilles (1970–) is a renowned Belgian designer. Design was not his first calling: his university studies initially focused on Political Science, a discipline in which he graduated in Brussels. He then pursued a career in the financial sector for several years before deciding to change his life and move to France, where he earned a second degree at the Institut Supérieur de Design in Valenciennes—this time following his passion for Industrial Design. In 2007, after several years of collaboration with fellow Belgian designer Xavier Lust, he founded his own studio and began a series of successful partnerships with several major international design brands. The most significant and productive of these have been with the Belgian office furniture brand BuzziSpace and the Italian company Bonaldo, both of which quickly made him one of their leading designers. Winning the title of Designer of the Year in 2012 at the Interieur Kortrijk Fair opened the door to many new collaborations, including with brands such as Ligne Roset, Varaschin, Miniforms, XL Boom, Saba Italia, Vincent Sheppard, La Chance, and many others.
