Céline trained as an engineer, which gave her a real sense of rigour, and she’s one of those people who’s always been in love with architecture. After 15 years in the marketing department of a major American group, Céline chose the prestigious Ecole Boulle to support her in her conversion, and more specifically her demanding training in space design. Now a member of UNAID (Union Nationale des Architectes d’Intérieur et Designers), Céline pays particular attention to listening to her clients’ needs. She knows how to navigate perfectly between technique and creativity, and is keen to create functional and aesthetic spaces that suit their inhabitants.
As the daughter of a pilot, travelling is one of her major inspirations. In Copenhagen, where she lived for a year, she developed a strong sense of Scandinavian design. Then there was Japan, where her architectural ‘shock’ came during a trip to the island of Naoshima, when she visited the Chichu museum designed by Tadao Ando: clean lines, raw materials… From this love of the architect and the archipelago, she developed a sensitivity to precious details and natural materials such as paper, which she loves in all its forms (painted, textured, chewed), but also lime and zelliges.
With ARCHIK, Céline wants to be part of a human adventure where excellence is not incompatible with the accessibility of the teams. The concept appeals to her, and it seems clear to her: to make something beautiful, with a smile, quite simply.
