Portrait | Alain Gilles

After studying Political Science, Marketing Management and a career in the world of finance, Alain Gilles realizes that his sensitivity lies elsewhere. He resumed industrial design studies in France, and revealed himself. More than a vocation, a passion. In order to pursue his dreams, Alain Gilles opened his own studio. He develops his personal approach to the design of products, furniture, interior architecture, collaborates with several international companies and wins numerous awards.Creative, ingenious, he signs STACKED for the Faïencerie de Charolles. An endless ceramic collection, multiple and unexpected stacking sets in different shapes, giving birth to endless models of side tables. This collection makes it possible to go a long way in redefining a product typology, as well as in its possibilities for customization, by drawing on the ancestral know-how of La Faïencerie de Charolles, a living heritage company.
