Concept
X-Ray is a family of comfortable upholstered pieces : a sofa (2, 3, 4 seaters), an ottoman, a daybed, an ottoman table and an armchair. Instead of hiding the structures under fabric, Alain Gilles literally x-rayed the welcoming and comfortable traditional sofa to create a graphic and sculptural range of seats for the home and the office. As a result, the pieces are captivating both from the front and from the back. The X ray collection is made by artisans using the most noble techniques, with a mutli density foam heart padded with the finest dawn feather and supported by a traditional strap construction.
The X ray collection is always produced on demand with the upholstery chosen by the client among La Chance selection of high quality leather and fabrics. As most La Chance products, X ray is also available with client's fabrics and special bespoke finishes.

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.
