Lachance Lalou Mirror
LALOU MIRROR
LALOU MIRROR
Jacques Emile Ruhlmann
Lalou was the first historic piece to join La Chance collection.
Lalou was originally design in 1928 by Art Deco superstar Jacques Emile Ruhlmann.
The mirror is composed of three simple parts: a base, a structural piece for the back of the mirror, and the mirror itself.
A simple, elegant and ingenious construction. This clear –even blunt- approach is also a trademark of La Chance products.
The lalou mirror perfectly fits in la chance collection.
It is difficult to believe very graphic and pure design is 90 years old.

MAINTENANCE
Always use a soft cloth and rub lightly. Never apply any solvents. A change in the wood colour is a normal reaction if there is a long exposure to the sun. Solid wood is a natural material and it is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. Please do not expose solid wood products to excessive heat sources such as radiators or fireplaces. Any sudden change in temperature and/or humidity can cause natural cracks in the material.
DESIGNER
JACQUES EMILE RUHLMANN
La chance’s style has definitely its roots in the art deco movement. The brand tries to make a contemporary transcription of its spirit and values particularly through re-editions of jacques-emile ruhlmann pieces, one of the undisputed masters of this period who defined the codes of a new modern area in the 1920’s.
Ruhlmann was an inventor of forms who created unique and luxurious pieces. He worked with the best craftsmen of the time: cabinetmakers, marquetry specialists, gilders, lacquerers and upholsterers to create specific works to each of his clients.
He used to sign his creations by appending his elegant signature next to the one of the craftsman who had made the work. Ruhlmann was both a creator and a producer but also an editor and a gallery owner for the cream of the contemporary customer base. By working with designers with diverse backgrounds as well as ruhlmann did with several talents, la chance gives an interpretation of ruhlmann’s spirit who used to combine tradition and modernity, and wishes to recall his passion for noble materials.
