Always passionate about design and architecture, on the lookout for the latest trends and creations, Amandine, an engineer by training and with a Master’s degree in Marketing from ESSEC, created ARCHIK in 2014. While she has worked for large groups such as LVMH and L’Oréal, she has also tried her hand at various projects before embarking, in Marseille, on this adventure.

The ambition? To put its sensitivity to aesthetics and a certain art of living at the service of others. The young structure has earned its stripes as an essential stop for architecture lovers, collectors of characterful properties and connoisseurs of beautiful materials. With this objective in mind, Amandine has never ceased to enrich ARCHIK with profiles from diverse backgrounds: cinema, art, economy, luxury…

Its catalog, now very selective, has led it to prefer bourgeois apartments revisited by architects, villas with panoramic views and hidden properties with high potential. “ARCHIK is both a city real estate agency and an architecture agency. We cater to lovers of the city, its energy and possibilities.”

With her team, Amandine scours the city for her clients in search of those living spaces that have a signature. “Marseille is in the midst of change, there is a public for these properties, waiting for a flawless service. And they want to be accompanied in their renovation projects!” says Amandine. What could be better than associating an agency and architects? A story that has only just begun!

Located in Sceaux, in the inner suburbs of Paris, this architect-designed house has remained intact since 1965, retaining its strong personality and modernist style.

The renovation aimed to preserve its soul while bringing it up to contemporary standards of comfort. A journey orchestrated by our partner architect, Isabelle Heilmann of Épicène.

Before …

Objective

Transform spaces by adapting them to contemporary uses, let light shine through, and breathe new life into living areas by opening up the space.

Guidelines

Respecting and enhancing what already existed was the guiding principle behind the project. The modernist lines of the staircase and bay windows, as well as the noble materials, travertine and dark wood, have been preserved and reinterpreted to create a link between past and present.

More dated elements, such as the linoleum flooring, plasterwork, and psychedelic wallpaper, have been replaced.

Implementation

It centered around opening up the ground floor to enlarge the main room and let in more light.

Partitions were removed and replaced with openwork woodwork elements: a bookcase, a screen, and an interior bay window, allowing each space to be identified while maintaining fluidity.

Epicène pursued a warm minimalism by retaining the codes of modernism—clean lines and geometric shapes—enriched with textured materials such as wood, straw, terracotta, lime, and travertine, and colorful touches from the waxed concrete floor to the sky blue kitchen.

Particular attention was paid to the custom-made woodwork, combining different types of wood and material effects in deliberately asymmetrical compositions.

Finally, a complete overhaul of the layout has made it possible to meet the needs of a modern family: creation of a 25 m² master suite, enlargement of the children’s bedrooms, conversion of the former office into a games and TV room, and conversion of the attic space into storage, an office, and a sewing workshop.

A redesigned setting, bright and full of substance!

Sébastien COQUEREL

Co-founder

Involved in ARCHIK from the beginning as co-founder, Sébastien works on all issues related to strategy, brand positioning and customer relations, as well as administrative and financial matters. His leitmotiv is to ensure ARCHIK’s high-end positioning through the quality of its customer relations. “ARCHIK is a company with structured work processes. And for all the cogs to work, it’s a permanent job that is not necessarily visible to everyone.

Sébastien has experience in this field. He worked for BMW for 10 years, from marketing to communications, including press relations and B-to-B sales, an experience which he applies to real estate. “With a background in a brand known for its rigour and the loyalty of its customers, I learnt what customers’ requirements are. It’s a matter of paying attention at every moment.

ARCHIK is characterised by real differences, “a quality of work, a desire to approach properties through the art of living, to offer a living space rather than square metres and to offer a specialised service by accompanying clients in the renovation of properties thanks to architects, decorators and other designers”.

This is an important specificity according to this fan of Frank Gehry, “an architect-sculptor, who also approaches his field in a different way: starting with an intention, an inspiration, he then imagines the tools necessary to make it real and viable”. According to Sébastien, this is a challenge that requires “evolving with the times, remaining flexible and listening to our clients in order to constantly reinvent ourselves”.

TAPISIEGE I TAPICHERI

May – September 2026

An exhibition that explores the relationship between rugs and seating, and reimagines a way of living that is free, sensitive, and essential.

For its carte blanche at ARCHIK, Tapicheri has curated a series of five pairs linked by a shared sense of color or form.

A rug, a chair.
Two elements that are enough to transform the space.
The rug defines a chosen floor space, a surface that both isolates and connects. The chair engages the body, inviting it to pause its movement and take a seat.

Each pair functions as an autonomous unit, a piece that is both flexible and practical.
In its most basic form, this is where living begins.

These sets sketch out an interior without walls, offering a way to make a space one’s own based not on accumulation, but on balance: the balance of forms, materials, and distances.
Nomadic by nature, these minimalist living rooms can be moved and rearranged.

Living then becomes an act of intention: the act of marking a threshold, laying a foundation, and creating a world out of almost nothing.

The exhibition showcases TAPICHERI’s creations, designed by Camille de Villartay: hand-tufted rugs with free-form shapes and vibrant colors, conceived as true works of art.

Alongside these pieces, a selection of seating designs interacts with the rugs to form harmonious pairs, where materials and colors complement one another.

The exhibition brings together a selection of pieces by talented designers such as Axel Chay, Laetitia Perrin, and MVE, as well as from the design houses Theoreme and Petite Friture, creating an interior landscape in which the rug is no longer merely a backdrop, but a starting point.

The Artist

Tapicheri is a French company specializing in the creation of contemporary rugs.

Founded in Paris in 2022, the brand is known for its hand-tufted pieces, featuring free-form shapes and vibrant colors, designed as true decorative elements. Offering both ready-to-lay and custom-made collections, Tapicheri showcases European artisanal craftsmanship and embraces a joyful, creative approach, where the rug becomes an object of artistic expression that can be personalized.

Camille de Villartay, the founder of Tapicheri, is a designer and interior architect who trained at the École Boulle. After more than fifteen years of experience in interior architecture and design for major brands, she embarked on her entrepreneurial journey following a personal quest: unable to find rugs that met her expectations, she began designing her own models and quickly decided to launch her own brand.

Breaking with traditional conventions, Tapicheri embraces a playful and uninhibited approach to rugs, inviting everyone to make them their own.

When living becomes an intention: the intention to mark a threshold, to lay a foundation, and to create, with almost nothing, an entire world.

Marie CHEMIN

Sales Administration Manager

marie.chemin@archik.fr

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.

Located in the heart of the Élysée district, this apartment has been elegantly renovated by our partner interior design firm ABL.
The work focused on the kitchen and bathroom, restoring fluidity, light, and coherence to this two-level Parisian apartment.

Before …

Objective

Bring a breath of fresh air and let in more light, through balanced contrasts between natural materials and raw textures, in a palette of muted shades.

Guidelines

A project conceived as a delicate gesture, carried out by skilled craftsmen and an interior designer capable of revealing the material and finesse of each assembly.

Implementation

Preserve the historic character, particularly the cabochon flooring and ceiling moldings in the kitchen.

Reclaim the lost attic space in the dressing room and bathroom to optimize volume.
Play with bold contrasts between design elements: cream-white kitchen, mineral paint, natural stone, and raw steel island.

In the bathroom, bring natural light into the shower and create a dialogue between silver travertine and custom stained glass.

A vibrant duplex, shaped by matter and light.
