Involved in ARCHIK from the beginning as co-founder, Sébastien works on all issues related to strategy, brand positioning and customer relations, as well as administrative and financial matters. His leitmotiv is to ensure ARCHIK’s high-end positioning through the quality of its customer relations. “ARCHIK is a company with structured work processes. And for all the cogs to work, it’s a permanent job that is not necessarily visible to everyone.

Sébastien has experience in this field. He worked for BMW for 10 years, from marketing to communications, including press relations and B-to-B sales, an experience which he applies to real estate. “With a background in a brand known for its rigour and the loyalty of its customers, I learnt what customers’ requirements are. It’s a matter of paying attention at every moment.

ARCHIK is characterised by real differences, “a quality of work, a desire to approach properties through the art of living, to offer a living space rather than square metres and to offer a specialised service by accompanying clients in the renovation of properties thanks to architects, decorators and other designers”.

This is an important specificity according to this fan of Frank Gehry, “an architect-sculptor, who also approaches his field in a different way: starting with an intention, an inspiration, he then imagines the tools necessary to make it real and viable”. According to Sébastien, this is a challenge that requires “evolving with the times, remaining flexible and listening to our clients in order to constantly reinvent ourselves”.

La première chambre se découvre derrière un très beau dressing entièrement miroir. Le sol moquetté apporte une sensation plus feutrée à cet espace qui profite, lui aussi, d’une belle vue sur la mer.

La salle de bain, habillée de carreaux blancs, s’inscrit au cœur de l’appartement et assure la transition entre les deux chambres. La seconde chambre quant à elle, bénéficie d’une armoire et d’un bureau réalisés sur mesure, dans la continuité de l’écriture intérieure.
Une cave complète le bien. Des places de stationnement libres sont disponibles au sein de la propriété.

Marie CHEMIN

Sales Administration Manager

Since her end-of-study internship in Communication and Marketing at Maison ARCHIK in Toulouse, Marie has not left the adventure: for almost a year, she has been roaming the pink city as a negotiator, before joining Marseille in April 2018, as Sales Administration Manager. A valuable support provided daily to the teams in the three cities.

Right from the start, Maison ARCHIK seduced her for its innovative and meaningful concept… “It’s beautiful, simple and different. Crossing disciplines, highlighting the essence of a place, and perfecting the habitat are values that drive me, which is why I found myself in many codes…”. The work environment corresponds to her personality, which is oriented towards art, design, architecture and aesthetics. It is therefore natural that she immerses herself in this world of global thinking around the habitat.

What does she like about the city? Walking in the street, being attentive to buildings, trying to distinguish flats, inner courtyards, and finding unusual architecture or places. It’s a way for Marie to appreciate the atmosphere of cities, their different neighbourhoods, whether they have the charm of the old like the Carmes and Esquirol in Toulouse, whether they are cosmopolitan like the Vieux Port or Noailles in Marseille, or more historical like the Opéra or Marais districts in Paris. Different neighbourhoods, but lively, each in their own way.

TARPIN TRESSÉ I 13 DESSERTS

April – August 2026

ARCHIK gives 13 Desserts free rein to showcase the artisanal technique of woven netting and unveil its latest pieces.

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.

The publishing house

13 DESSERTS
Founded in 2020 in Hyères-les-Palmiers by Clément Rougelot and Kevin Dolci, 13 Desserts is a French design house specializing in furniture and home accessories. Rooted in its local region and attentive to materials, colors, and craftsmanship, it has developed a unique vision of contemporary design experimental, colorful, and resolutely Mediterranean.
Like the 13 desserts of the Provençal tradition from which it takes its name—authentic, timeless, accessible the company works with carefully selected European manufacturers to showcase local craftsmanship with as much care as character.

SUPERPOLY
Superpoly is a duo formed by Antoine Grulier and Thomas Defour. Since 2016, their artistic practice has spanned interior architecture, fashion, graphic design, and decoration.
Superpoly is the fusion of two approaches plastic and applied centered around sun-drenched influences. For each project, they seek to create an immersive and unique space through a visual intervention.

A sensitive and immersive landscape, like returning from a fishing trip to a Mediterranean shore.

Clément Rougelot

Creative and versatile, Julie has followed an unconventional path. After attending an arts-focused high school, she went on to study art conservation at La Cambre in Brussels, followed by cultural management and luxury marketing.

Through her various experiences, Julie specialized in content creation and brand strategy—a creative, strategic, and stimulating field in which she subsequently worked as a freelancer for numerous brands and startups. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, she also launched her own fully digital business right in the midst of the COVID pandemic.

Art is her guiding principle; it is what she studied and what she practices professionally—she even has her own painting studio. Julie possesses a unique ability to find beauty in the “ugly,” the fascinating in the mundane, and the spectacular in simplicity.

Shortly after arriving in Marseille, she discovered ARCHIK—a distinctive company that caught her eye with its strong brand identity, aesthetic appeal, and boldness. It represented a marketing concept rooted in a cultured, artistic world. A lover of Old Master painting who is also passionate about design and architecture, she had long harbored a secret desire to work in this field. That ambition has now been realized, as Julie serves as the Marketing & Communication Manager at ARCHIK.

Raphaëlle FORMOSA

Marketing and Communication Manager

With her head full of ideas and the desire to sell them, Raphaëlle first plunged into the world of advertising agencies. For ten years, she put all her energy into strategy and creativity for brands. Then, the desire to work more concretely for the daily life of Parisians led her to work for the public service, in the communication department of the RATP.

But at the same time, a new desire took shape: always attracted by decoration and design pieces, she gradually refined her eye and her tastes, with a particular affection for the interior architects Laura Gonzalez and Dorothée Meilichzon, or the designers Charlotte Perriand and India Mahdavi. From decoration, she moved on to renovation: under the spell of the old, she enjoyed rethinking her first flat, then the second. She likes to sublimate the history of places and quickly becomes passionate about detecting the potential of old properties.

In love with a more intimate Paris, always on the lookout for confidential addresses, she admits to being rather “Right Bank”. When she discovered ARCHIK, she was immediately won over by its hybrid positioning between real estate, design and architecture. Naturally, she joined the Paris agency as soon as it opened, as a negotiator. A role that allows her to accompany her clients in their projects, as a true partner on whom her clients can rely.

LES PIERRES SAUVAGES I THIBAULT HUGUET

January – April 2026

For the start of the 2026 academic year, ARCHIK Marseille is hosting “LES PIERRES SAUVAGES” (WILD STONES), an installation combining architecture, design, and craftsmanship, conceived by Thibault Huguet.

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.

L'artiste

Thibault Huguet, a French designer who graduated from the École Supérieure d’Art et Design de Saint-Étienne, founded his studio in 2020. Based in Brussels and resident at Zaventem Ateliers since 2024, he has developed a cross-disciplinary practice combining creation, research, and transmission. His work explores the links between design and craftsmanship, reinventing techniques and skills through materials. He collaborates with manufacturers as well as French and Belgian artisans, questioning production methods and the boundaries between industry and craftsmanship. In 2024, Mobilier National selected his LAMPE#1 for its collection, then commissioned him to create two PLANE consoles for the Élysée Palace.

In 2022, he co-founded the Meet Met Met collective with Jean-Baptiste Anotin, with whom he curated the Factory spaces at Paris Design Week in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Alongside his studio work, he has been teaching design at the École Boulle for three years.

An encounter between Marseille’s heritage, architectural thinking, and the art of stone cutting, following in the footsteps of Fernand Pouillon.

Amélie BERTRAND

Sales Assistant

An epicurean at heart and a native of Marseille, Amélie has also lived in Lyon and Paris—experiences that have broadened her perspective and fostered her cultural openness. She cultivates a keen appreciation for aesthetics and the art of living.

Passionate about fashion, design—particularly 1970s furniture, which she especially loves—and all things aesthetic, she draws inspiration from atmospheres, encounters, and details that tell a story. Eager to deepen her skills and develop her entrepreneurial mindset, Amélie enrolled in a business school in Aix-en-Provence on a work-study program and joined the team as a Sales Assistant.

A choice that enables her to enrich her strategic vision, acquire practical tools, and evolve her projects into solid, creative outcomes. Naturally curious and versatile, she finds her balance in multidisciplinary environments where aesthetics and meaning converge.

It was only natural, then, that ARCHIK won her over with its strong identity, its holistic approach combining design, architecture, and real estate, and the diverse profiles that make up the team—an inspiring environment where Amélie can fully express her sensibility, energy, and ambitions.
