L’ÉCRIN I MARIE JEUNET
April 2025
ARCHIK welcomes “L'ECRIN”,
an ode to matter imagined by Marie Jeunet.
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.
The artist
Passionate about the decorative arts and jewelry, Marie Jeunet imagines her works as interior jewels that, once illuminated, reveal the beauty of the materials they’re made of.
Her unique approach, on the border between art and design, and her attention to detail, make each piece a truly precious object, imbued with sensitivity and grace. A delicate balance, a subtle blend of minimalist forms and dreamlike projections.
