DESIGNERS

ALAIN GILLES

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 his own life. So, thanks to the moral support of his wife, he went back to studying Industrial design in France, at the ISD in Valenciennes. He assisted Xavier Lust in his creations, but was eventually hired by Quinze & Milan before graduating. He worked there for two and a halve years as designer, developer and project manager on several high profile projects for world-renowned architects and editors. He opened his own studio in 2007 and has since started to collaborate with several international editors such as Bonaldo, Qui est Paul? and Urbastyle.
