Sales Administration Manager

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.

VINCENNES

On the outskirts of Paris, Vincennes strikes a rare balance between the energy of city life and the tranquillity of a village.

Nestled against the woods, the town is centred around its château, a monumental silhouette that evokes its royal past. Its streets, on a human scale, are lined with townhouses, middle-class apartment blocks, Art Deco façades and more contemporary architecture. Well-connected yet sheltered from the hustle and bustle of Paris, Vincennes boasts a vibrant centre, brought to life by its independent shops, its market and a new generation of creative venues. People come here to stroll, enjoy a good meal, pick out a beautiful item or simply savour that unique feeling of being somewhere else entirely, just a few minutes from Paris.

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.

Julie FLEUTOT

Digital Manager

julie.fleutot@archik.fr
Creative and versatile, Julie has followed an unconventional path. After attending an arts-focused high school, she went on to study art conservation at La Cambre in Brussels, followed by cultural management and luxury marketing.

Through her various experiences, Julie specialized in content creation and brand strategy—a creative, strategic, and stimulating field in which she subsequently worked as a freelancer for numerous brands and startups. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, she also launched her own fully digital business right in the midst of the COVID pandemic.

Art is her guiding principle; it is what she studied and what she practices professionally—she even has her own painting studio. Julie possesses a unique ability to find beauty in the “ugly,” the fascinating in the mundane, and the spectacular in simplicity.

Shortly after arriving in Marseille, she discovered ARCHIK—a distinctive company that caught her eye with its strong brand identity, aesthetic appeal, and boldness. It represented a marketing concept rooted in a cultured, artistic world. A lover of Old Master painting who is also passionate about design and architecture, she had long harbored a secret desire to work in this field. That ambition has now been realized, as Julie serves as the Marketing & Communication Manager at ARCHIK.

Raphaëlle FORMOSA

Marketing and Communication Manager

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.

L’ÉCRIN I MARIE JEUNET

Janvier – Avril 2026

For the 2026 fall season in design and decoration, ARCHIK Paris welcomes “L'ECRIN,” an ode to materials imagined by Marie Jeunet.

In the rich landscape of contemporary design, Parisian artist and designer Marie Jeunet stands out for her luminous sculptures that transcend matter and capture the essence of light. Her delicate and sensitive work magnifies materials such as glass, brass, and stone, revealing their uniqueness through subtle plays of light that bring hypnotic pieces to life, conducive to daydreaming.

These refined creations play on illusion: glass that appears smooth yet is steeped in history, rigid brass that turns out to be supple, the false lightness of a stone piece…

For the staging of her exhibition “L’ECRIN,” Marie Jeunet turned to Casamance, a leading name in fabric design. The brand is renowned for its exquisitely crafted fabrics, reflecting expert craftsmanship. For this exhibition, Marie chose a very refined golden brown Mennagio taffeta with a crisp drape.

The decoration was created by the Relax Factory upholstery workshop, which designed a refined space playing with the drapes of the fabric to evoke the delicate folds of a jewel box, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a world that is both raw and sophisticated.

L'artiste

Passionate about decorative arts and jewelry, Marie Jeunet imagines her works as interior jewelry that, once illuminated, reveal the beauty of the materials they are made of.

Her unique approach, straddling the boundary between art and design, and her attention to detail make each piece a truly precious object, imbued with sensitivity and grace. A delicate balance, a subtle blend of minimalist forms and dreamlike projections.

Amélie BERTRAND

Sales Assistant

+33 (7) 84 29 65 69
amelie.bertrand@archik.fr

An epicurean at heart and a native of Marseille, Amélie has also lived in Lyon and Paris—experiences that have broadened her perspective and fostered her cultural openness. She cultivates a keen appreciation for aesthetics and the art of living.

Passionate about fashion, design—particularly 1970s furniture, which she especially loves—and all things aesthetic, she draws inspiration from atmospheres, encounters, and details that tell a story. Eager to deepen her skills and develop her entrepreneurial mindset, Amélie enrolled in a business school in Aix-en-Provence on a work-study program and joined the team as a Sales Assistant.

A choice that enables her to enrich her strategic vision, acquire practical tools, and evolve her projects into solid, creative outcomes. Naturally curious and versatile, she finds her balance in multidisciplinary environments where aesthetics and meaning converge.

It was only natural, then, that ARCHIK won her over with its strong identity, its holistic approach combining design, architecture, and real estate, and the diverse profiles that make up the team—an inspiring environment where Amélie can fully express her sensibility, energy, and ambitions.

Lisa SANSONE

Artistic Director's Assistant

+33 (7) 69 93 63 30
lisa.sansone@archik.fr

A lifelong resident of Martégale, she grew up on the shores of the Étang de Berre, in a landscape shaped by water, harbors, and Mediterranean architecture. This setting has shaped her sensibility and perspective, with a particular focus on lines, textures, and everything that defines a place’s identity. Her attachment to the South is also reflected in its traditions and flavors, with a special fondness for bottarga.

Currently pursuing a master’s degree in Art Direction at BRASSART in Aix-en-Provence, she enjoys creating cohesive visual worlds and bringing them to life across various media. Curious and meticulous, she observes closely, researches, experiments, and refines her work until she finds the right balance between intention, aesthetics, and simplicity.

Her inspiration comes from everyday life, often during her travels. A building facade, the typography of a sign, the layout of a menu, packaging, or a detail spotted on the street can be enough to spark an idea. She is particularly drawn to clean, minimalist designs, beautiful materials, and compositions where each element naturally finds its place.

Her vision directly reflects ARCHIK’s world and its approach to beauty, design, and the art of living. As an artistic director on a work-study program, she helps bring this identity to life across all communication channels, ensuring that the brand maintains the understated, elegant, and recognizable aesthetic that immediately drew her to the company.

Located in a historic and highly sought-after condominium in the 10th arrondissement, this apartment with its industrial origins was in good condition, but its U-shaped floor plan deserved to be rethought. It is built around a 9 m2 terrace, whose charm was just waiting to be revealed.

Objective

Rediscover a plan that’s easier to live in, with an open kitchen, larger shower room, separate WC and, of course, more storage space. Bring the terrace back to life as a real bonus room. More light in the kitchen.

Line of conduct

Preserve the atypical charm of the premises and the remarkable old features. Echo the greenery of the terrace by punctuating the apartment with flat expanses of green.

Assume the “countryside in Paris” ambience, which combines industrial codes (black metal skylights, antique doors, retro-style electric radiators), country-inspired antique furniture such as the farm table and framed kitchen fronts, and the Mediterranean softness embodied by the raw materials of the South of France: terracotta and waxed concrete.

Implementation

A complete renovation that places the kitchen next to the terrace, giving each a place at the heart of the apartment. A previously under-utilized space was upgraded with the creation of a custom-made office, entirely painted a deep green to become a real bonus room.

A parquet floor painted white to unify the whole and let the light circulate: a bold choice, but one that paid off.

An ultra-optimized bathroom in which waxed concrete-covered formwork conceals technical elements and creates hidden niches and storage.

Original plans & project

A haven of peace and light with simple beauty.

PDW 2025 I EX LIBRIS I 10 ANS ARCHIK

Septembre – Décembre 2025

For its fifth participation in Paris Design Week, an unmissable event that celebrates innovation, creativity, and audacity in the world of design each year, 10 artists and designers were invited to revisit the same object: the bookend. Exclusive editions are on display at our Parisian Maison in an exhibition entitled Ex Libris.

A variation on a theme, drawing on different skills and materials to reveal the stylistic richness of a classic library item that has fallen into disuse.

This exhibition pays tribute to the graphic universe that has surrounded books for centuries, as well as to the artists who still strive to renew the genre today, thereby preserving the magic of libraries, in contrast to the all-digital world.

A theme that echoes the release of the sixth edition of the Revue, the agency’s annual publication that expresses the founders’ keen interest in printed matter and beautiful books.
