Marion GIOVANNETTI

Architect

An artist since her childhood, Marion naturally went on to study Art History, then architecture at La Villette in Paris, driven by her passion for conception. HMONP architect, she first put her skills at the service of various Parisian agencies, notably as team leader at Axel Schoenert Architecte.

In 2019, she decides to fly on her own and create her agency, to find the space of the sensitive: the history of a place, its inhabitants, their life project and their uses, the material … Originally from the Drôme, she returns to Provence to build and create in places that make her vibrate for their light, their landscape and their colors. She fell in love with Marseille for its sea and its cultural diversity, and settled there in 2020.

Passionate about the art of living in general and inspired by nature, travel, and world craftsmanship, Marion is particularly fond of “full-body” materials such as wood, concrete, terracotta, stone and glass, for their ability to last and develop a patina over time without losing their essence.

She exercises the profession of architect in its rigor and its range of responsibilities, adopting the role of conductor and creative master. In her renovations, she gives pride of place to the play of light that evolves with the day and the seasons.

With ARCHIK, Marion shares this same passion for the art of living. Convinced that together we are stronger, she joined the team to accompany you on your renovation projects in Marseille and its surroundings.

This contemporary house is ideally located below the Bonne-Mère, on the heights of the 7th arrondissement of Marseille. With its precise horizontal architecture, this property has benefited from a beautiful illumination, revealed thanks to an ambitious approach.

Target

To completely rethink the decoration and layout of an architect’s house with an austere resonance. To change the location of the kitchen and give the whole a warmer vibe, more in line with the expectations of its owners.

archik-immobilier-marseille-architecture-corcovado-19

archik-immobilier-marseille-architecture-corcovado-17

Course of action

Reconnect the house to its environment and its exceptional location by accentuating the inside/outside effect. Use noble materials to give the house a unique character, where the luxury and elegance of clean lines would be the guiding principle.

Achievement

From the entrance, it was necessary to announce the change with a strong gesture, which brings warmth and life. A 6-metre-high steel structure was designed, around which tropical vegetation unfolds. The back wall of this majestic stairwell was clad in a noble wood, creating a chic and coherent picture between stone, wood, and vegetation. The master suite has been remodeled to take full advantage of the superb view.

For this first level, a cameo of pink and terracotta was chosen, echoing the tiles of the surrounding roofs.

On the main level, a play of perspectives was created by the transparency of the solid oak screens, in order to redefine the rooms. In the living room, the green wall extends onto the terrace for an inside/outside effect, with the Friuli Islands as a backdrop. The floor has been modified by applying a resin throughout, providing unity and a soft, soothing feel.

The kitchen has been moved so that it can communicate directly with the outside and once again become a convivial room, dedicated as much to entertaining as to contemplation. The cement tile patchwork wall gives it relief and picks up the colours of the whole project. The electrical equipment throughout the house was replaced with solid brass, adding a refined detail that is not to be overlooked. The furniture in each room was entirely made to measure or selected by Virginie & Rodolphe.

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

Caroline CACCIATORE

Interior Designer

With a degree in urban planning and real estate law, Caroline worked for 12 years on urban renewal and renovation of run-down housing in downtown Marseille, before devoting herself to her passion for design and decoration.

With a background in space design and after numerous real estate projects, she created her agency to put her passion at the service of her clients and create with them custom-made, timeless and graphic spaces.

In her work, Caroline favors the combination of natural and living materials that patinate with time, as well as neutral tones. She likes to emphasize the shapes and architectural uniqueness of certain elements with bright and contrasting colors, in order to create a soft and warm atmosphere. Finally, she attaches particular importance to creating custom-made spaces that are functional and adapted to the occupants’ lifestyle in order to provide them with well-being in their daily lives.

Cultivating a particular attraction to the modern movement with its minimalist lines and raw materials, she believes in the continuity between art, design and architecture and the mixing of styles.

AMCA OVAL

June – August 2023

A graphic and flamboyant scenography showcases their creations inspired by the aesthetics of the 70s.

The AMCA OVAL duo showcase their sustainably manufactured creations, inspired by the aesthetics of the 70s, in a play of textures and neutral and colorful hues.

Their VIBRATIONS collection is the fruit of Alexis Martial’s intuitive exploration of color, form and space. From his sensitive and abstract perception, he imagines a series of tufted cushions and wall art, as well as hand-knotted wool rugs, that explore his graphic vision.

AURORA is a contemporary interpretation of a modular system typical of the 70s, unveiled in 2023. An ode to circularity, creating a playful whole in a material that can be endlessly recycled. The system is imagined as a playground that can be transformed from the same laser-cut elements into an infinitely extendable screen, a table lamp or a coffee table with a glass top.

The oval is combined with extruded curves to create a kinetic pattern, like a kind of “paper-cut”.

Alexis Martial et Adrien Caillaudaud

The duo of Alexis Martial and Adrien Caillaudaud imagine a singular universe, both pop and poetic, expressed in fashion and design. Stylists, textile designers and art directors, the two creatives spent 15 years working in fashion before launching their AMCA OVAL project, a reference to their initials and the oval that symbolizes the ideal of a circular global system.

AMCA OVAL is a creative force that challenges norms, stimulates the imagination and leaves a lasting imprint on the world of art and fashion.

“There’s something very statutory about the circle, whereas the oval is much softer, more harmonious, more encompassing. It’s both a shape representing femininity, an ideal, and a symbol of sharing and collaboration that kept coming up in our inspirations.”

– Adrien Caillaudaud et Alexis Martial

A complete and colorful renovation for this 100 m2 apartment located in a building of the 6th district of Marseille, which was revealed thanks to strong bias.

Target

Bring back to life this apartment where the charm and assets were hidden by too many disparities, while recreating a common thread.

Course of action

The idea was to highlight the titles of nobility of the place, while revealing the taste of its owner and making the kitchen and living room communicate. Then to furnish it, without using neither blue nor green!

Achievement

The colors have slowly imposed themselves, warm, spicy, as well as noble materials like leather, wood and cement tiles.

In the living room, in order to keep the depth and the effect of space that the old ice wall provided, the designer Axel Chay designed an XXL mirror.

The Art Deco type glass roof between the kitchen and the living room creates an elegant opening through which one can enjoy the view without displaying the technical part of the kitchen. The transition between the spaces is smooth, thanks to a kitchen cabinet that looks like a library visible from the living room, creating an aesthetic link between the two rooms. The furnishings have been reorganized, a dining area created and the circulation optimized, with black as a common thread, in small touches, dialoguing with the quarter-top piano. In the kitchen as well as in the alcove, the ceilings were painted to accentuate the feeling of enclosure and intimacy.

In the entrance, the small windows were revealed. The former powder room, hidden behind its double doors, has been completely redesigned and decorated as a boudoir with a Garden of Eden feel.

The bathroom has been treated as a minimalist water room, where the white zelliges with pearly reflections are an invitation to relaxation. The cement tile floor with palm motifs evokes the Orient and its Oases. A touch of rosy terracotta enhances the complexion as soon as you wake up.

An elegant and subtle renovation.

Posture(s) I Anthony Guerrée

March – May 2023

The exhibition Posture(s) retraces the creative process of the French designer Anthony Guerrée, and allows to discover how he draws a seat from a posture.

This scenography honors the research work that the French designer Anthony Guerrée has been conducting for several years around « the seat ». This functional furniture orientates by its conception and its design, the posture that one adopts in contact with it and consequently its use. The inclination can either invite discussion and sharing, or conversely, withdrawal. ARCHIK and Anthony Guerrée invite visitors to immerse themselves in the designer’s creative process by exhibiting the sketches and models of his chair collection entitled « Les assises du temps perdu », inspired by the characters in Marcel Proust’s novel « À la recherche du temps perdu ».

As the new director of Habitat’s design studio, Anthony Guerrée delved into the brand’s archives and developed his first chairs. UP and DELTA, two strong pieces with clear geometric shapes that offer a play of full and empty spaces, are exhibited here at the Maison ARCHIK Marseille.

Anthony Guerrée

Anthony Guerrée is one of those designers who are about to mark our decade. Trained at the Ecole Boulle, the designer just graduated and joined the prestigious Studio Andrée Putman where he designed custom-made furniture for major architectural projects. He then spent five years working with Christophe Delcourt, designing furniture for his eponymous brand, as well as for international collaborations.

In 2020, Anthony Guerrée launched his own design studio. It was then that he unveiled his first manifesto project inspired by his reading of Proust, « Les assises du temps perdu », each corresponding to a character in the book. In 2022, the « Verdurin » chair from the same collection entered the collections of the Mobilier National. At the same time, he was awarded the « French Design » prize at the Élysée Palace.

At the same time, he designs for many French and international brands such as Kann Design, Linteloo or Nosten. In September 2022, he exhibited at La Maison La Roche (Fondation Le Corbusier) his collection « Fragments» which he had imagined for M Éditions, a design publisher created by Les Marbreries de la Seine, and which questions two myths: Greek architecture and Le Corbusier. The same year, he was named director of the design studio for Habitat.
