Art Curator

art@archik.fr

Graduated from University of Paris-Dauphine in Luxury Management, then curator for art galleries, Emmanuelle Oddo, founder of Piece A Part, approaches the art world and projects with a great artistic sensitivity and a strong understanding of marketing issues.

Since 2017, she has conceived and organized more than 15 exhibitions and events for collectors and companies. Her passion for art and design has led her to devote herself to accompanying these different actors through collaborations conducted hand in hand with international artists.

With ARCHIK, Emmanuelle opens her know-how to private places: she guides you for the acquisition of works of art and objects of art in order to decorate or to scenograph your interiors. But also to build or expand your collection. The accompaniment includes the management of your projects in their entirety, from the conception to the production of works, through sourcing, purchasing, shipping and installation.

SITE-TEAM-EMMANUELLE ODDO-5

Sur la restanque supérieure, la maison d’invités de 84 m2 se compose d’un séjour chaleureux avec cheminée et d’une cuisine ouverte prolongée d’une terrasse à la vue contemplative. Une chambre intimiste avec vue mer et une salle d’eau offrent un espace indépendant et accueillant pouvant être relié si on le souhaite, à la maison principale.

Dehors, l’art de vivre du Sud se révèle dans chaque détail : essences locales, arbres fruitiers, terrain de pétanque, et piscine traditionnelle s’intègrent naturellement dans le décor.
Enfin, un vaste garage, une cave à vin, un car port ainsi qu’une vaste buanderie extérieure, complètent ce bien familial confortable.

Un bien rare, empreint de l’âme provençale, intégré dans le paysage.

Maurice Sauzet

Né en 1927, Maurice Sauzet est un architecte et penseur à l’origine de l’Architecture Naturelle, un concept prônant le mariage heureux entre l’intérieur et l’extérieur, permettant à l’Homme de tisser des liens avec son milieu.

C’est au Japon où il s’affirme au côté de Junzo Nishizawa, architecte japonais formé par Le Corbusier. Profondément marqué par son séjour au pays du soleil levant, il cherchera à retrouver les effets sensibles et émotionnels des espaces nippons dans ses architectures. Son concept d’Architecture Naturelle mêle brillamment bâtiment et nature, créant des espaces au grès des reliefs ou des vues, et repensant l’habitat avec jardins entrants et pièces sortantes, pour une cohabitation totale avec l’environnement.

RELAX FACTORY

Upholsterer in furniture

Jean-Baptiste Moutte is the founder of the Relax Factory furniture restoration and upholstery workshop in Marseille. Fond of design from the 40’s-50’s-60’s, he puts his culture and his requirement as well as the talent and the technicality of his team to the rebirth of antique, modern and contemporary furniture.

 

With the taste and pleasure of a job well done, which he has defended since his beginnings, Jean-Baptiste restores and enhances furniture in a clever mix of textures, colors and materials, down to the smallest detail, with a focus on quality and durability.
The dialogue of materials is expressed with delicacy and reveals the lines of design restored to their original beauty.

 

Surrounded by a team of meticulous and perfectionist workers, he has been giving a second life to furniture since 2007 in the Relax Factory. “I practice my profession with respect for what these pieces of furniture deserve. My work reaches a public that is aware of the merits of restoring quality furniture, made to last and which flies over the trends.” While respecting the existing, he values materials such as fabrics from publishers-Kvadrat, Frey, Nobilis, Metaphores or Rubelli … leathers and skins from French or Italian tanneries. He orchestrates his projects with his team of enthusiasts: Head of the workshop, upholsterers, upholsterers and seamstresses make and restore pieces by great designers such as Le Corbusier, Jeanneret, Gio Ponti, Adnet, Perriand, Mies van der Rohe, Paulin… Antique dealers, collectors, amateurs and institutions call on their know-how and precision to take care of their furniture, or for an accompaniment to their project, such as the Hôtel de Caumont Museum and Château La Coste in Aix-en-Provence, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris or the Magen H. Gallery in New-York, Eric Touchaleaume’s Gallery 54 in Paris, L’Atelier 55 in St Tropez, Megève and St-Bart.

The custom-made manufacture occupies an important place, he collaborates with interior architects, designers and furniture editors in the study, the realization, the conception and the production of furniture. In his boutique-showroom, he exhibits a selection of creations, art as well as furniture, from masterpieces to the highlighting of young designers.

 

Partner of ARCHIK since the beginning, his work punctuates our ARCHIK houses in Marseille and Paris. You can call upon her fairy fingers for custom-made creations or to entrust her with your design pieces.
