After training at Olivier de Serres, she joined the Ecole Boulle in Paris, from which she graduated in 2010 with honors. Margaux Keller then trained at the Philippe Starck agency, alongside Eugeni Quitllet. In 2011, she was selected to be part of the design team of Fabrica, the Benetton group’s communication research center. But strong of her attachment to her native city, Marseille, she feels the call of the South. And decided in 2012 to create her own global design agency there, developing a wide range of partnerships with Yves Saint-Laurent Beauté, Bibelo, Roche Bobois, Cartier, Made.com, La Redoute Intérieurs, Habitat, SIA Home Fashion and La Monnaie de Paris. In 2019, she founded her own publishing house Margaux Keller Collections, in association with Anaïs Fretigny. A publishing house that offers series of furniture and objects in limited edition, made locally by artisans with exceptional skills.

Bringing together emotion, elegance and poetry, Margaux Keller Collections values ancestral craftsmanship in its first three collections: Vue Mer, Mistral Noir and Pin Parasol. Today, she presents in our Parisian ARCHIK House her new collection “Paradis perdus”, proposing to revisit our affective and emotional link to the objects that surround us. A journey through codes and traditions, to think of objects as a madeleine of Proust.

A family history, which first takes shape in Vietnam through an ancestral lacquer business. The founder designed the first collection bathed in his Asian culture and European influences. Highlighting the know-how of craftsmen in Vietnam or Italy, their timeless creations blend 50′ character and contemporary writing through pieces that have something to tell. RED Édition is all about materials, deep colors, architectural lines and handcrafted wood and lacquer work. The brand combines classic elegance, contemporary inspiration and glamour without ever compromising on comfort.

Their collection is presented in the RED apartment in the heart of the Marais. The classic architecture of the place is counterbalanced by bold colors and graphic patterns, a clever mix that diffuses an atmosphere as intimate as elegant.

A word from the founder, Cyril Laborbe:

“I love design and craftsmanship, I am sensitive to the nobility of manual work. Italy and Vietnam have always seduced me by the range of their talents.

Since 2006, when RED Edition was created, I have been committed to creating simple, beautiful, colorful and design furniture. And to work as I like: surrounded, assisted, motivated, inspired by friends, great designers, talents of all kinds … this is what makes the uniqueness and richness of Red Edition. Loving the trend but thinking of the practical, thinking our furniture for your interiors, staying close to your desires, staying friendly: always have in mind that Red Edition is your brand.

Imagining our furniture in Paris, manufacturing it in Milan, selling it in Hong Kong, being acclaimed in Copenhagen makes me happy!

Elodie Maentler, Interior designer

Elodie and Marc-Alexandre form a duo, both in the city and in the office. As an interior designer, Elodie runs her own agency Maentler Architectes d’Intérieur. And quite naturally, a synergy was created with Marc-Alexandre’s publishing house, with Elodie proposing to her clients to integrate pieces into her projects. The idea of a shared space emerged, a space dedicated to creation: the Galerie du coté was born, a confidential place that can be visited by appointment or during summer exhibitions.

At the crossroads of design, art and craft, the gallery presents both pieces from the publishing house and emerging local artists, bearing the same values of uniqueness, sustainability and local manufacturing. “We select each piece together,” explains Elodie.

This space is the result of the renovation of an architect’s house dating from 1952, in which a great deal of streamlining was necessary in order to bring the activity of a gallery to life through the past of the place. Plural in essence, this living space brings together reading groups, exhibitions, dinners, curious people and creative personalities… an intention shared in our Archik Houses!

Founded in Lebanon in 1958 by Kanaan, a renowned carpenter and father of Houssam Kanaan – founder of KANN Design, the Kanaan workshop is the pillar of the KANN Design project.

Having been immersed in furniture since his childhood, Houssam draws inspiration from and relies on the expertise and know-how of the experienced craftsmen who make up the brand’s heritage. Cabinetmakers, welders, upholsterers, painters and canners, most of whom have been with the company since its inception, work passionately, hand in hand, with a concern for creativity, quality and a deep sense of detail.

With this collective of craftsmen, KANN edits and concretizes the ideas and drawings of designers by making timeless furniture, technically irreproachable, and with absolute comfort.

With the taste for beautiful things, defended since its beginnings, KANN Design signs total and made-to-measure realizations, thought in the slightest details and in an always more sustainable approach.
