A specialist in bastide and mansion houses, with a passion for industrial architecture, Marie is an ARCHIK girl.

Although she loves architecture, it was in the cinema that Marie made her first steps as an editor, in Paris and then in Marseille…

The purchase and several restorations of properties, a 17th century chapel, a bastide and the construction of a very contemporary house in the mountains put her in a good position. She became familiar with real estate and decided to join the ARCHIK team after a first contact with Amandine on Facebook, which is quite a feat for a self-confessed technophile.

In Marseille, she loves the light, the location, the cosmopolitan atmosphere, and a few favourite districts, from l’Estaque to Saint-Barnabé via La Joliette and Arenc, which she surveys relentlessly to find exceptional properties. Her preference today is for La Joliette, a district that is being reborn and where she recommends the theatre, “an ideal place to stroll and have a drink”.

In the heart of Bompard, the exteriors and views from the top floor of this townhouse appealed to the new owners. This small enclosed garden had to be able to accommodate two distinct spaces: a terrace/summer kitchen and a garden area.

Target

Nestled in the heart of Bompard district, this small enclosed garden had to be able to accommodate two distinct spaces: a terrace / summer kitchen and a garden area.

Course of action

This exterior was worked in two planes, signified by large horizontal elements, namely the low wall and the planting spaces.

Achievement

The result is a clever play of contrasts between sharp colors and a choice of plants with characterful foliage. Strelitzia and false pepper trees are green in all seasons, responding with character to the minimalist design painted on the wall. The low wall is long and accommodates the summer kitchen and garden spaces, creating an impression of perspective and depth.

A colorful and graphic patio, beautifully highlighting the different tones of the chosen species.

Before …

Without fundamentally modifying the volumes of the apartment, the work consisted above all in a refreshment in all points of view (kitchen, painting, parquet floor, joineries), in order to offer to the purchasers an apartment which resembles them: an apartment with character, at the same time eclectic and audacious.

Target

To modernize an apartment in the Cité Radieuse while preserving its soul, drawing on the work of Le Corbusier.

Course of action

To provide a setting for the numerous works of art and designer furniture of the owners, great art lovers.

Achievement

The layout has been completely redesigned to highlight and stage the couple’s works. The kitchen has been completely redesigned to be more suitable in terms of functionality, while at the same time redoing some of Le Corbusier’s and Charlotte Perriand’s characteristic kitchen elements (high cupboards, reminder of the wooden handles on the kitchen fronts, etc.).
The range of colors used in the apartment is also directly inspired by the range of paint that Le Corbusier used in Bordeaux for the Cité Frugès, whether for the kitchen, or for certain volumes that have been repainted in pink, ivory white, almond green and red.

A precise renovation offering the best possible showcase for pieces and works of art!

Raphaëlle FORMOSA

Brand Director

+33 (0) 6 47 47 83 82
raphaelle.formosa@archik.fr

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.

In this residence, the garden was already existing and arranged with a strong Asian bias. The clients wished to rethink this garden, overlooking all the living rooms of the apartment, by offering it more modernity.

Target

Bring the terrace back to life and link the different existing outdoor spaces by creating a real homogeneity.

Course of action

Bring coherence through the exterior design and vegetation and give this terrace a more current character.

Achievement

A colorimetry was defined in order to homogenize the different existing spaces on the terrace. Several shades of gray contrast with the raw aspect of the wood, the green of the plants and the wicker of the seats. Olive trees take place on the terrace to bring a Mediterranean atmosphere. The furniture was entirely redesigned with Fermob, AMPM, Poterie Ravel and EDA Plastiques.

A new life for this terrace!

échos

July – September 2021

In collaboration with the Villa Noailles, the Cirva and the Château Borély, ARCHIK presents this summer 2021 'Echoes', an exhibition dedicated to a new generation of designers, all winners of the grand prize of the Design Parade Hyères.

While “Souffles”, the twin exhibition hosted by the Château Borély, focuses on the work of these designers at the Cirva around the material of glass, ARCHIK has chosen to present a set of pieces with a plural vocabulary in response to this research.

In a fresh scenography, the objects imagined by Pernelle Poyet, Samy Rio, Julie Richoz, Carolien Niebling and Sara de Campos, answer each other and lead us in a joyful wandering between plastic experiments and detour of traditional craft production techniques.

Whether it’s lighting, furniture, books or tableware, each object presented testifies to the designers’ desire to build bridges between ideas, between know-how, between worlds. Design as a bridge, as a language, as an echo. Echo between tradition and modernity, between form and color, drawing and volume.

The Designers

Through her Autels Particuliers, Pernelle Poyet questions the evocative power of objects. Her sculptures, creative experiments inspired by the religious and the play of light and shadow, seek to transcribe into volume elements of the drawing.

How can design and its production techniques translate the finesse and nuances of a design? To what extent can they bring a new perspective on an age-old know-how, on the culture of a country? This is the bridge that Julie Richoz has chosen to explore, alongside the publisher Trame: her Giro ceramics made in Fez are the fruit of an enchanting balance between modern vision and traditional craftsmanship.

Samy Rio is also committed to using design as a spokesperson for know-how. With his Dota walker, published by ARCHIK, he confronts bamboo and anodized aluminum, in other words tradition and modernity. The bamboo is handcrafted into a perfect tube, not only giving the piece a contemporary look, but also highlighting the quality and precision of the handwork and the potential of a natural and ecological material.

A deep concern for detail, durability and functionality is also found in the work of Sara de Campos, who since Lisbon has been developing a series of objects and furniture that show a sensitive approach to materials, minimalism that allows each time to reveal the intrinsic beauty of the material.

In another register, Carolien Niebling uses design to unite the fields of science and food. Her work “The Sausage of the Future” questions the techniques of sausage production, often equated with junk food, and imagines new future potentials for them, more consistent with a sustainable food culture.

To go beyond aesthetic considerations, to go beyond formal research to better question the past and the future, to echo the traditions of yesterday and the ecological stakes of tomorrow.

The Opening

Architecture of the 30s, this house has been, years after years, adapted to the tastes and use of its various owners.

Target

Bring a new balance between the rooms, more contemporary with a real bias. Adapt the spaces to the new owners’ lifestyle by offering a certain fluidity in the circulation within the house.

Course of action

Definition of a strong color palette for the entire first floor. Renovation of the 3 floors in a graphic and warm spirit. Modification of the layout of the floors, without altering the original architecture of the house.

Achievement

New custom woodwork was installed, allowing for plenty of storage space and a bench seat in the entrance area. The layout of the first floor was modified with a new opening between the dining room and the kitchen – with an IPN installation – offering a beautiful open and friendly space. On the first floor, the spaces have been decompartmentalized to create a beautiful master suite with double access to the bathroom and shower. A children’s bedroom with an adjoining office and bathroom provides a dedicated space for each member of the family. Finally, on the top floor, a dressing room, a guest room and an office have been installed.

A renovation with clean and graphic lines.

TAL I KANN DESIGN

November – February 2020

Kann Design invests our Marseilles showcase with its TAL chair signed by Leonard Kadid which is enthroned in our holiday scenography.

Leonard Kadid is an architect and product designer based in Paris. From object to architecture, his studio’s work focuses on structural and material experimentation to explore the intrinsic characteristics of materials.

This exhibition highlights the co-creation of the TAL chair, between the designer and the furniture brand. ARCHIK invited the designer to imagine a scenography that reveals itself as a space of reflection around the design, with the different elements of the chair displayed on the walls.

Kann Design

Founded in Lebanon in 1958 by Kanaan, a renowned carpenter and father of Houssam Kanaan – founder of KANN Design, the Kanaan workshop is the pillar of the KANN Design project.

Having been immersed in furniture since his childhood, Houssam draws inspiration from and relies on the expertise and know-how of the experienced craftsmen who make up the brand’s heritage. Cabinetmakers, welders, upholsterers, painters and canners, most of whom have been with the company since its inception, work passionately, hand in hand, with a concern for creativity, quality and a deep sense of detail.

With this collective of craftsmen, KANN edits and concretizes the ideas and drawings of designers by making timeless furniture, technically irreproachable, and with absolute comfort.

With the taste for beautiful things, defended since its beginnings, KANN Design signs total and made-to-measure realizations, thought in the slightest details and in an always more sustainable approach.

The craft is honored in this scenography dressed in a leafy shade, highlighting the simple and contemporary curves of the TAL chair.

In the heart of an old Marseille neighborhood, a fisherman’s house with a whitewashed facade has been given a new lease on life after an in-depth renovation. The project was developed around a monumental staircase reminiscent of Valentine Schlegel, taking over each level up to the roof terrace where an idyllic landscape is revealed.

Target

To circulate easily, to benefit from the freshness and to invest the lowest levels, in garden level.

Course of action

Beginning with the roof and extending to the patio, the “root” of the house, the four levels have each undergone a transformation with a common thread: the Mediterranean.

Achievement

Formes organiques et brutes, patines naturelles, murs arrondis et garde-corps maçonnés sont les témoins de techniques méditerranéennes que la rénovation, fidèle, a mis en exergue et magnifiés. Les menuiseries sur mesure en chêne massif, réalisées par Raboniak, soulignent l’ensemble, précis et intemporel. Les différents espaces entremêlés signent un art de vivre méditerranéen. Le rez-de-chaussée décloisonné et ouvert sur le patio accueille une grande bibliothèque et, à part, la suite parentale immaculée. L’espace de vie fait la transition au premier étage entre les deux espaces nuit bien distincts. A l’abri des regards, le toit-terrasse cache une cuisine et un salon d’été à ciel ouvert, dépaysant. Le blanc est à l’honneur dans la maison. Un style contemporain affiché avec des références au design des années 50 – 60, répond au style vernaculaire. Charlotte Juillard, Eames, Paola Navone et Michel Ducaroy habitent l’intérieur. Lise Prévot, Martin Parr et Alexandre Benjamin Navet, quant à eux, les murs. Les luminaires CVL ponctuent le tout. Il s’en dégage une certaine harmonie, rythmée de touches de velours bleu nuit et de lin blanc.

An open-air cocoon, undeniably reminiscent of Greece.
