Au niveau supérieur, surplombant le séjour de manière théâtrale avec sa grande bibliothèque sur-mesure : un vaste espace modulaire ouvert, aujourd’hui espace bureau, dégageant sur une salle de bain en verrière sobre et élégante avec sa baignoire pattes de lion et son miroir vénitien.

Une chambre parentale avec un vaste dressing vient compléter ce niveau.

Pour plus de praticité, un vaste dressing vient compléter ce niveau.

Jean Bernard Charavel

Cet immeuble est l’œuvre de Jean Bernard CHARAVEL. Né à Marseille en 1884, formé à l’École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, il obtient son diplôme d’architecte en 1913 et exerce à Paris puis à Neuilly-sur-Seine, où il meurt en 1957. Représentant de l’Art déco et du Mouvement moderne, il travaille notamment avec les architectes Robert Enault et Marcel Melendès. On lui doit le Palais des Pins à Cannes (1928), le Conservatoire de Saint-Quentin (1929) et l’ancien cinéma Pathé-Natan à Paris (1931).

Niché au pied du square Carpeaux, dans le quartier populaire des Grandes-Carrières, l’édifice s’élève sur neuf étages et incarne avec discrétion l’esprit Art déco des années 1920. Élevé en 1925, il déploie une façade rythmée de bow-windows en encorbellement et de larges verrières, jeu de volumes et de géométrie caractéristique de cette décennie où Paris réinventait son habitat. Voisin des grands ensembles sociaux de la fondation Weill, il s’en distingue pourtant par son écriture propre, plus intimiste, presque sculpturale, en écho au quartier qui doit son nom au sculpteur Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux.

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.

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.

Marie CHEMIN

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

RAMBOUILLET

Located 45 minutes south-east of Paris, Rambouillet is set in a clearing between valleys and forest, in the heart of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Natural Park. A natural setting that shapes the atmosphere of this discreet town, where heritage, architecture and landscape interact without excess.

The town’s history dates back to the 11th century, around a seigniorial castle and a parish church. The ancient layout can still be seen in today’s town: a human-sized center, structured around historic axes and buildings with simple, solid lines.

The Château de Rambouillet, long a royal and then presidential residence, marks the heart of the town. On its outskirts, the park and forest create a permanent breathing space, accessible on foot or by bike.

Rambouillet’s town planning blends middle-class houses, 1930s pavilions, resort architecture and contemporary buildings. Today, the town attracts people looking for a peaceful lifestyle close to nature.
