Although Marine began her career as a private law lawyer in Paris, she is without doubt the most Mediterranean of all Parisians !

Indeed, her childhood in Marseille was punctuated by weekends in the Camargue, and Sundays in Sormiou and Les Goudes. She’ll never forget these Mediterranean jaunts, and it’s no surprise that she decided to leave Paris with her husband and set down her bags in Tunis in 2014. She immersed herself in the city’s post-revolutionary effervescence, discovering its stalls and mazes and coming into contact with artisans, and decided to change course. In love with materials, crafts and local know-how, she decided to develop a concept to promote craftsmanship through the creation of 100% made-in-Mediterranean decorative objects in materials such as wrought iron, leather or palm fiber: “IJA” was born.

After returning to the South of France, she decided to change course and discovered ARCHIK. And working with the brand was an obvious choice: combining her legal expertise with her love of architecture and beauty, with a common denominator: a taste for others. Discovering unique properties, meeting people from all walks of life, accompanying them in their life projects – that’s the ARCHIK spirit!
