2012 DESIGNER OF THE YEAR

We teamed up with 2012 Designer of the Year Alain Gilles. Design as a second life. After studying Political Sciences and Marketing Management, Alain Gilles went on to work in the international financial. 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. He opened his own studio in late 2007 in order to pursue his own dreams and develop his personal approach to product design, furniture design, art direction and scenography.
Alain’s designs for XLBoom are playful but functional, timeless but classy. Every design has the power to stand out on itself.
