PARIS DESIGN WEEK

9th – 18th September 2021

ARCHIK loves architecture, art and design. And so it is only natural that it should join the Marais path of Paris Design Week PDW21, from 9th to 18th September 2021.

An open-air show created in 2011 by Maison&Objet, Paris Design Week has become a must-attend event for the general public, design experts and professionals. For 9 days, a selection of galleries, museums and emblematic brands offer ephemeral exhibitions, openings and meetings around design.

From 9th to 18th September 2021, our Maison ARCHIK Paris opens its doors to the public, highlighting the work of 5 young designers, all winners of the Design Parade Hyères.
The exhibition “Echoes”, organised in partnership with the Villa Noailles, the Cirva and the Musée Borély in Marseille, presents sculptures, creative research and everyday objects by designers Samy Rio, Pernelle Poyet, Julie Richoz, Sara de Campos and Carolien Niebling.

Each object presented is a bridge between ideas, know-how and worlds. Design becomes a bridge between tradition and modernity, form and colour, drawing and volume.

The Designers

Pernelle Poyet
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 elements of drawing into volume.

Julie Richoz
How can design and its production techniques translate the finesse and nuances of a drawing? To what extent can they take a new look at an age-old skill? This is the bridge that Julie Richoz has chosen to explore: her Giro ceramics made in Fez with the publisher Trame are the fruit of an enchanting balance between modern vision and traditional craft.

Samy Rio
Samy Rio is also committed to using design as a mouthpiece for know-how. With his Dota walker, published by ARCHIK, he confronts bamboo and anodised aluminium, in other words tradition and modernity. The bamboo is worked by hand until it becomes a perfect tube, giving the piece a contemporary look, and underlining the precision of the manual work and the potential of a natural and ecological material.

Sara de Campos
This deep concern for detail, durability and functionality is also found in Sara de Campos. Since Lisbon, the designer has been developing a series of objects and furniture that demonstrate a sensitive approach to materials and a minimalism that reveals the intrinsic beauty of the material.

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

Paris Design Week, a unifying event
under the aegis of the art of living,
dedicated to the young designers.

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”.

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.

Paradis perdus I Margaux Keller

March – June 2021

``True paradises are the paradises we have lost`` said Marcel Proust in his book Le temps retrouvé.

This is the quote that inspired the Marseille-based designer Margaux Keller for the fourth collection of her eponymous furniture brand.

“This new series is a parade, an imaginary world that seems familiar: a country house in Provence, an orangery, an oasis of wonders, a magnified childhood memory. Open your eyes wide, remember the sweet scent of orange blossoms…”. These are the memories and precious feelings that guided Margaux Keller in the creation of each piece of this very personal collection.

The designer thus highlights her desire to work with artisans who are sensitive to materials and to the emotional dimension that everyday objects provide. A poetry of materials, senses, shapes and lights that allows a sensitive and unique escape.

Margaux Keller

After training at Olivier de Serres, she joined the Ecole Boulle in Paris, from which she graduated in 2010 with honors. Margaux Keller then trained at the Philippe Starck agency, alongside Eugeni Quitllet. In 2011, she was selected to be part of the design team of Fabrica, the Benetton group’s communication research center.
But strong of her attachment to her native city, Marseille, she feels the call of the South. And decided in 2012 to create her own global design agency there, developing a wide range of partnerships with Yves Saint-Laurent Beauté, Bibelo, Roche Bobois, Cartier, Made.com, La Redoute Intérieurs, Habitat, SIA Home Fashion and La Monnaie de Paris. In 2019, she founded her own publishing house Margaux Keller Collections, in association with Anaïs Fretigny.

A publishing house that offers series of furniture and objects in limited edition, made locally by craftsmen with exceptional know-how.

Carnations | Caroline Venet

2021

Carnations' is a research work mixing leather and recycled porcelain clay.

This is a limited series of objects and furniture for the home, unique pieces handmade in France, made in collaboration with the ceramist Fanny Richard, the leather worker Aurélie Chadaine, and the tile factory Normandy Ceramics.

The leather scraps, end of series or rejects from the fashion industry, are collected to be revalorized, sublimated by their asperities, irregularities of the skin, scars, natural wrinkles or veins, which make the uniqueness of each object. It is a meeting of materials and know-how, between the suppleness of a leather skin and the velvetiness of hard porcelain or enamelled stoneware.

In order to perpetuate Studiofoam’s enchanting universe, and still in the logic of offering a global product, we have co-published ONDE(S), a limited edition luminous suspension.

Caroline Venet

Caroline Venet created Studiofoam in 2017, which she conceives as a research laboratory. Through this design studio, Caroline proposes a unique interpretation of materials, questions manufacturing techniques and processes, between innovation and traditional know-how. The designer explores the boundaries between art, craft and design. She develops a multiple approach, from experimentation to installation, from material and surface design to product design, set design, scenography and art direction.
