He’s as passionate about the brilliant shine of alloys as he is about manual activities; he gathers his clay, his pigments and experiments. The result is an extravagant yet extraordinarily beautiful interior where materials and textures come together. He paints his walls a self-made brick-red color reminiscent of iron mines.

Founded in 2020, memòri is a creative studio that brings together different craft disciplines with the aim of constantly questioning practices and their transmission. It’s an ode to singular traditions, to know-how rooted in the Mediterranean basin, with the desire to reactivate collective memories to make them alive and current again.

On the borderline between the production of objects in very small quantities and the creation of a wardrobe of unique pieces, the exploration continues with a selection of 20th-century design objects and furniture. The studio works in these different fields, with the sole aim of integrating a craftsman’s approach and a sustainable approach to manufacturing and production.

Remarkable architecture from the 1960s, located at the gateway to the Calanques, this 180 m2 Californian villa is at the heart of a modernist project designated as Patrimoine du XXème, designed by Guillaume Gillet & Louis Olmeta and completed in 1974. Still in its original state, the house retains all its original architectural features, such as its Fontvieille stone and hollow brick facade, sliding wooden shutters and opus incertum terrace. Inside, the fireplace, reminiscent of Valentine Schlegel’s, and the large terrazzo floor are waiting to be restored to their former glory.

For the sale of this house, Archik imagined a renovation that would respect this heritage, highlighting the volumes and light circulation of this period architecture.

Capucine places great importance on the local origin of the materials she uses, combining tradition and innovation. Her creations, imbued with stories and poetry, redefine the boundaries between art and design.
