Weaving, knotting, assembling: the exhibition explores the net as a gesture, a material, and a language, revealing the full formal, cultural, and sensory richness of this ancestral craft.

The exhibition design is by Superpoly, a project born from the collaboration between artist Antoine Grulier and Thomas Defour. The duo has set up a makeshift camp, that of a fisherman who has cast his nets to weave himself a Mediterranean refuge.

This is an opportunity to showcase the Bendor armchair and the Petit Ribaud the children’s version of the Grand Ribaud chair released in 2020 both created by designer Thomas Defour.
A school of sardines has washed up in the mesh: cushions painted by Antoine Grulier. The Gapeau lamp, designed by the duo and produced by 13 Desserts, is presented in a special edition for the occasion.

The exhibition also features Clément Rougelot’s Bigger Splash mirror and Axel Chay’s Amphore vases.

ARCHIK presents “Les Pierres Sauvages”, an exhibition by designer Thibault Huguet showcasing the results of his research conducted in collaboration with marble-working students at the UNICEM campus. Stone is the main focus of this exhibition, as in the eponymous novel by Fernand Pouillon, architect of the reconstruction of Marseille’s Old Port.

Stone lace, openwork blocks, micro-architecture: the artifacts presented in this exhibition show how a designer collaborates with craftsmen to rediscover a material. By questioning the tools, gestures, and practices of these young marble workers, designer Thibault Huguet imagines new applications for the main character of this exhibition, Villebois stone, which is also wild in many ways.

By hosting this project, ARCHIK continues its commitment to supporting young creators and promoting crossovers between architecture, design, and craftsmanship.

For this exhibition, Thibault Huguet chose to work with Villebois stone, a limestone marked by veins and clay faults, which is both demanding and rich in nuances. The result of research conducted with the UNICEM campus in Montalieu-Vercieu, this material reveals, through cutting and polishing, cloud-like patterns and unexpected visual depth, transforming a modest resource into a true surface for expression.

A variation on a theme, drawing on different skills and materials to reveal the stylistic richness of a classic library item that has fallen into disuse.

This exhibition pays tribute to the graphic universe that has surrounded books for centuries, as well as to the artists who still strive to renew the genre today, thereby preserving the magic of libraries, in contrast to the all-digital world.

A theme that echoes the release of the sixth edition of the Revue, the agency’s annual publication that expresses the founders’ keen interest in printed matter and beautiful books.

Manon Garcia del Barrio, artist and textile designer, and La Fille de Tipaza, ceramic artist, invite us into a silent world of materials and textures, white noise and memory.

Sharing a common source of inspiration, the Mediterranean, the two artists offer us an immersion into times long gone, which each of us can approach at our own pace, explore with our eyes, and bring back traces of: fragments of pottery, antique notebooks, treasures from the sea, delicate silhouettes, and majestic forms covered in seaweed and moss.

Carried by the words of Isabelle Alentour, poet of intimacy, the works take shape and voice, revealing life where everything seemed destined to disappear in a subdued, whispered world, where only resistant forms remain.

In the teeming landscape of contemporary design, Parisian artist-designer Marie Jeunet stands out for her luminous sculptures that transcend materials and capture the essence of light. Her delicate, sensitive work magnifies materials such as glass, brass and stone, revealing their singularity through a subtle play of reflections, giving life to hypnotic luminaires conducive to reverie.

These refined creations play on illusion: glass that looks smooth yet is full of history, rigid brass that turns out to be supple, the false lightness of a stone piece…

To stage her exhibition “L’ECRIN”, Marie Jeunet turned to Casamance, a benchmark in fabric publishing. The brand is renowned for its finely crafted fabrics, reflecting expert know-how. For this exhibition, Marie chose a Mennagio mordoré taffeta with a brittle, refined fall.

The Relax Factory tapestry workshop was responsible for the décor, creating a refined space that plays with the drapery of the fabric to evoke the delicate folds of a jewel case, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a universe that is both raw and sophisticated.
