ENCLAVE I CAPUCINE GUHUR

June 2024

A harmonious scenography highlighting the value of materials and form.

Imagined by Capucine Guhur, who invites François Leite and Louis Lefebvre, this six-handed exhibition focuses on the objet-oeuvre, transforming everyday objects into unique pieces and fusing aesthetics and functionality.

ENCLAVE explores creativity through original sculptures, demonstrating a constant desire to push the boundaries of art and architecture while capturing the unique essence of each artist.

Capucine Guhur’s OKO collection dialogues with François Leite’s lighting fixtures and Louis Lefebvre’s wool and metal installations, creating a poetry of the everyday. The artists imagine living places and objects, offering unique atmospheres where materiality expresses itself with radicality, redefining the boundaries between art and design.

CAPUCINE GUHUR

Capucine Guhur, a graduate of the Camondo School, the Paris Decorative Arts and the School of Interior Architecture and Design, sublimates materials with a unique sensibility.

Passionate about places and spaces, she conceives her projects by intimately combining object design and interior architecture. A finalist for the Grand Prix d’Architecture d’Intérieur at the Design Parade Toulon 2021, she impressed with her singular installation “Le Dernier Repas”, a mythological dining room where each object tells a story.

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.

 

ARCHIK and CAPUCINE GUHUR invite you to discover works that redefine the boundaries between art and design.

DEMI-TOUR I SABOURIN COSTES

January – April 2024

An exclusive scenography to showcase our ZIGGY carpet, the new ARCHIK edition, co-created with design duo SABOURIN COSTES.

It was during Paris Design Week in September 2023 that we unveiled our new edition co-created with design duo Sabourin Costes.

The good news is that the DEMI-TOUR exhibition is coming to Marseille, with an adapted scenography revealing the vibrant, acidulous universe of Zoé & Paola. An exhibition under the sign of undulation and nuance, featuring their BOUDIN resin collection and our latest joint edition, the ZIGGY rug.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday January 25, 2024 from 7pm at the Maison ARCHIK in Marseille for a cocktail party in the presence of the designers.

 

SABOURIN COSTES

Sabourin Costes is a design studio founded by Zoé Costes and Paola Sabourin.

From their Paris studio, they compose and shape surprise. Combining a meticulous exploration of materials and their processing with formal and functional research, they create singular objects that catch the eye and celebrate the everyday.

Their materials of choice are simple yet refined: lacquered wood, polished stainless steel or transparent resin. They play with reflection and distortion to create unexpected, contemplative moments.

 

ARCHIK X Sabourin Costes is a shared desire to explore and give birth to a unique creation, a retranscription of two distinct universes that meet and complement each other.

In the heart of Vauban, this townhouse entirely restructured by architect now enjoys an outdoor patio redesigned in a Mediterranean spirit, to enjoy every day.

Objectif

Develop this small area nestled at the back of the house, and bring together all the functions of an exterior, playing on its connection with the large living room.

Ligne de conduite

The intention was to free up the space while integrating it into the interior renovation thanks to the choice of materials, to blur the inside-outside boundary, typical of the Marseilles way of life.

The 4.50 by 2.50 meter freijo wood bay window naturally connects the two spaces.

Mise en oeuvre

The idea was to work with masonry elements to gain space and create rhythm. Basin, benches and planters are directly inserted into the volume of the patio, which is now ready to house the bulk of the summer kitchen. The tree planters in the background break the verticality of the space, and are composed of strelitzia reginae and augusta, aspidistra, and euphorbia ingens and myrsinite.

The strict lines of the elements are mixed with raw and mineral materials in warm tones to invoke the sweetness of Mediterranean living.

While the walls are adorned with a light sand-colored plaster, the floor is entirely covered with tiles made of quartz powder and salmon-colored granite with an aged look by the Italian brand La Pietra Compattata. The southern influence continues in the choice of outdoor furniture, with the custom-made dark brick-colored seat cushions and the terracotta tiled table, made by Honoré.

A summer feeling all year round.

Complete renovation of an old townhouse orchestrated by JoBe Architecture and ARCHIK to create an open and friendly living space, turned towards natural light.

Target

At the bend of a steep alley in the heart of the typical Vauban district, an old townhouse evokes the Marseille of yesteryear. On this playground, the will of the renovation duo was to create an open living space, turned towards natural light and inviting to conviviality. For an art of living à la marseillaise.

Course of action

The intention was to give this townhouse, with its succession of small, narrow, dark rooms, a Mediterranean flair as well as a functionality suited to urban family life. To enlarge the house and offer an isolated and suspended parental space, an attic mezzanine was created above the living room. The new floor plan is distributed over 4 levels of living space, with an aerial staircase as a common thread.

Achievement

The interior charm of the house echoes the Mediterranean way of life, with its raw and mineral materials in warm tones and its sand-colored resin floor.

On the first floor, the objective was to create a functional and comfortable entry space for daily use. The concrete staircase, the backbone of the house, provides direct access to the living areas.

The second floor offers two bedrooms and a children’s playroom with artist’s frescoes, adorned with cream curly carpeting, as well as a pleasant bathroom in total terracotta look where a tiled niche welcomes the bathtub.

The heart of the house is discovered through a terracotta cloister. A large bay window in freijo wood opens the living room on the terrace and its pond, letting the sun fill the living room. On the other side, the open kitchen offers a terracotta tiled island and a recycled plastic worktop in beige tones.

The climb ends with the master suite. A beautiful attic room with its adjoining shower room entirely tiled with grey ceramic, including a white matte pedestal sink.

Outdoor

The outdoor space has been cleared and landscaped to bring together all the functions of an outdoor space in a small area. A pool, a dining area and masonry benches invite you to relax. In the background, planters give rhythm to the whole and break the verticality of this space located at the back of the house.

A stylish renovation with a singular character, inviting to conviviality.

LIVE LOVE HALL HAUS

September – December 2023

A colorful scenography featuring revisited street furniture.

LIVE LOVE HALL HAUS is the staging of two principles: living and loving. ARCHIK and Hall Haus invite you to discover their vision of a dream interior where you could spend a whole day with your family, loving, playing, sharing, working… simply living.

Through this colorful scenography, the quartet of designers express their vision of a design that they wish to be more accessible, stemming, like themselves, from an urban culture.

Hall Haus

The collective, founded by Abdoulaye Niang, Sammy Bernoussi, Teddy Sanches and Zakari Boukhari, has a philosophy of combining urban culture and design. “Hall” for the halls of the buildings they grew up in, and ‘Haus’ for the Bahaus, the modern movement and its architects that inspired them. A synthesis that guides each of their creations. The four designers and friends advocate a creative approach based on a journey between their environment (the hall) and design.

“We have a reading of design through the reinterpretation of the hall, a reading of the hall through the appropriation of design.” – Hall Haus

A contemporary renovation that respects the special soul of this beautiful 110 m2 flat in the heart of the Old Port of Marseille.

Target

To give this typical Old Port flat a new lease of life by revitalising and brightening it up.

Course of action

The idea was to rebalance the volumes of the place and to redefine the living rooms. The idea was also to create a work space that could become a spare bedroom, while keeping the beautiful light provided by the four windows.

The renovation and decoration of the flat was designed in several stages, in order to trace the eclectic career of its occupants, mixing contemporary pieces and travel objects.

Achievement

Changing the volumes of the kitchen was the first thing to be done in order to remodel the living room, to integrate a lounge and a dining area. Unifying the ceiling by sanding the beams (former galley masts) allowed them to regain their original clarity and softness. The challenge was to maintain the feeling of space without losing the clarity, thanks to the glass roof and steel joinery, separating the office from the living room. All of this was achieved by maintaining a colour palette that harmonised with the clay tiles on the floor, by creating a dialogue between the furniture and by creating beautiful perspectives thanks to an XXL mirror with generous curves.

In the night space, a parental suite has been designed, full of softness and fantasy. The bathroom of the suite was entirely made to measure, with gold marble tiles highlighted by a delicately powdered pink that is accentuated by the copper tapware. The choice of a thick, light-coloured carpet brings to the whole the luxury touch of the grand hotels and an unparalleled voluptuousness.

A warm and delicate glow, revealed by the beautiful light of the South.
