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.

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.

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.

Remarkable architecture from the 1960s, this Californian villa is at the heart of a modernist project that has been awarded the “Patrimoine du XXème” label, on its 800 m2 plot in a wooded park at the gateway to the Calanques. A project with character designed by the Marion Bernard architectural firm.

Before …

Target

Preserve the soul of this single-storey Californian villa, while renovating and enlarging it to adapt it to contemporary uses. Enhance its emblematic architecture and strengthen its link with the surrounding countryside.

Course of action

The renovation was carried out with a view to preserving the original architectural features, while adding modernity and comfort. The Fontvieille stone and hollow brick facade, sliding wooden shutters and low stone walls were carefully restored. Inside, the horizontal fireplace in brick and Cassis stone and the large terrazzo floor have been restored to their former glory.

Achievement

On the south side, the sleeping quarters are distributed on either side of the entrance hall by a corridor punctuated by typical 60s storage units.

To the north-west, the living areas are arranged in a row along the terraces, one of which is extended by a swimming pool in the shade of tall umbrella pines. Each extension of the house has been designed as a continuity towards the outside, with terraces allowing you to take full advantage of the surrounding nature. The living room, dining room and kitchen all open out onto the landscape, allowing for total immersion in the natural environment.

EX LIBRIS I 10 ANS ARCHIK

Septembre – Décembre 2025

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, ARCHIK invited 10 artists and designers to revisit the same object: the bookend. Exclusive editions are presented at our Marseille headquarters through the group exhibition Ex Libris.

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.

Cette bastide dévoile surtout une remarquable capacité de réinvention. Les projections proposées illustrent une restauration contemporaine respectueuse de son identité, où la noblesse des matériaux, la sobriété des lignes et l’ouverture sur le paysage révèlent toute la force de son architecture d’origine.

À l’extérieur, la terrasse bordée de sa balustrade historique se transforme en véritable belvédère sur le paysage. Le jardin, généreusement planté d’essences méditerranéennes, laisse entrevoir de multiples possibilités d’aménagement, où une piscine pourrait naturellement trouver sa place dans le prolongement de cette architecture.

LE CHANT DES VESTIGES I LDG ART & PATRIMOINE

Juin 2025

ARCHIK is hosting “Le Chant des Vestiges”, a group exhibition conceived by gallery owner Laetitia de Galzain, founder of the LDG Art & Patrimoine gallery.

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.

Les artistes

Manon Garcia del Barrio – textile artist
Manon Garcia del Barrio lives and works in Marseille. She weaves sensitive works from natural fibers and recycled materials, combining textiles, storytelling, and memory. With strong ties to the sea, her work explores the links between materials, territory, and transmission. A graduate of HEAR, she recently completed a residency in Nigeria and exhibited at the Marseille History Museum.

Isabelle Alentour – poet
Born in Marseille, Isabelle Alentour comes from a background in scientific and clinical research. Her poetic writing, nourished by listening and wonder, extends artistic gestures with a hushed, whispered voice. She regularly collaborates with visual artists.

La Fille de Tipaza – ceramic artist
Delphine Picard, alias La Fille de Tipaza, creates ceramic pieces imbued with silence and memory. Inspired by the Mediterranean and the poetry of Albert Camus, she shapes clay with a raw and instinctive sensitivity, making the material the vehicle for an emotion rooted in intimacy and landscape.
