TOTEM
January 2025
To celebrate the start of an intense new year, ARCHIK invites you to discover “Totem”, an exhibition featuring the architectural duo HEJU Studio and their unique vision of timeless, sustainable design.
“Totem” is a retrospective of HEJU Studio’s collaborations with French brands and galleries sharing the same values of timelessness and sustainability: Ressource, Carocim, Nobodinoz, La Lune and Virginie Lesage. Through a selection of furniture collections, materials and artworks, this exhibition celebrates a singular aesthetic where rounded reliefs, graphic forms and primitive architectural vocabulary intertwine to create sensitive, poetic objects.
Sculptural furniture, graphic cement tiles, subtle hues and objets d’art: each piece on display embodies a dialogue between minimalism and expressive architectural forms. The totemic figure, omnipresent in their work, becomes here the common thread of a universe where craft, material and light meet.
Les artistes
Hélène Pinard and Julien Schwartzmann, architects and founders of Heju Studio, met at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Strasbourg, where they graduated top of their class. Together, they have created a unique universe inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics.
Their sensitive, spontaneous approach optimizes spaces, challenges codes and brings emotion and poetry to everyday life. They attach great importance to materials, colors and textures, creating atmospheres that appeal to all the senses.
Fervent advocates of the continuity between art, design and architecture, they conceive projects that merge disciplines and inspirations. Each project is unique, reflecting a luminous, calm simplicity enriched by a distinctive personality.
An invitation to plunge into the world of HEJU Studio, where architecture dialogues with design in a quest for balance and poetry.
