bb

September 2024

For Paris Design Week 2024, ARCHIK is teaming up with CORPUS STUDIO for an immersive experience at the heart of design.

For this 4th edition of PDW, ARCHIK presents the work of Ronan and Konrad, architects and designers, founders of CORPUS STUDIO.
A selection of pieces from their bb collection, featuring a range of metals with different finishes, all hand-crafted in the foundry. Exclusively, new custom-designed pieces will be presented in a hushed setting, creating an immersive, cottony scenography.

bb is for baby, the first love, for Brigitte Bardot, voluptuous and suave, for Babybel© and its ingenious red wax shell that divides into several quarters.

A collection imagined through an empirical game of assembling shapes, all derived from one and the same element: a simple wheel – one of the most elementary shapes – poetically divided, repeated and assembled to ultimately create a multitude of functional objects.

CORPUS STUDIO

Founded by Ronan Le Grand and Konrad Steffensen, CORPUS STUDIO stands out for its transdisciplinary vision, fusing architecture, decorative arts, art and furniture. The duo create unique spaces and atmospheres by optimizing the specificities of each location. Their analytical and collaborative approach, supported by a network of experts, enables them to develop solutions that are both rational and sensitive. The result: poetic spaces that play with volumes, light and textures to offer an aesthetic and functional experience, where every detail contributes to a harmonious and comfortable atmosphere.

 

“From these objects emerges a sculptural and functional dimension, oscillating between angle and roundness, rigor and humor, minimalism and maximalism.”

Immerse yourself in a captivating artistic journey through the Parisian Maison ARCHIK, where furniture by Red Edition meets design pieces by Pigalle Matignon and artworks by Matchi Art. An opportunity to discover elegant furniture, objects and works of art that embody French elegance, creativity and savoir-faire.

An immersive exhibition that transports you into a summery universe, where each carefully selected piece evokes the softness and light of Parisian summer days.

THE ARTISTS

Red Edition gives pride of place to materials, deep colors, architectural lines and the craftsmanship of wood and lacquer. Through a combination of eras, each collection honors an ancestral material and technique. The brand reinvents vintage furniture with a contemporary twist, creating elegant, timeless pieces that celebrate French craftsmanship.

Pigalle Matignon, a collectible design gallery, highlights the history of the pieces and their creators. Offering accessible small-scale furniture created by French artist-designers, the gallery favors responsible work and exclusive, signed and numbered limited editions. Each piece, developed exclusively for Pigalle Matignon, is handcrafted and treated as an objet d’art. Founded by Laure Lefèvre Baulme, the gallery aims to reintroduce humanity and history into our interiors with rare and meaningful pieces.

Matchi Art’s mission is to make the purchase of art accessible to all, integrating art into everyday life. This new-style art gallery offers a rigorous selection of original works by emerging and established artists.

In Boulogne, 125 m2 of open-plan offices have been given a new purpose: that of a tailor-made home.

Target

For this new space created from scratch, the objective was to give pride of place to perspectives and to open up. To close off rooms without appearing to do so, and to recreate each space in a flat.

Course of action

The desire to bring warmth to this industrial space dictates the use of oak as a guiding line throughout the flat. A real trompe-l’oeil that hides the classic office codes, hides the ducts, and groups the water rooms.

Achievement

The decompartmentalisation of the spaces to keep the loft spirit is underlined by the made-to-measure joinery which draws the different living spaces. Oak dresses the edges of the bay windows, creating a frame, and is found as a metaphor on the bathroom cabinet. A red staircase in folded metal created by the designer Axel Chay provides access to the terrace. The office area is delimited by the wall shelves which overflow onto the living space, like a fusion of spaces.

The only water column, a real constraint of the flat, obliged to gather each water room in the same neuralgic point. A camouflaged cube was then created behind the bookcase, opening through a back door onto a bathroom with toilet. The kitchen is juxtaposed with this on the one hand and the bathroom of the master bedroom on the other. The Leicht kitchen has a stone worktop and a grey-green waxed concrete floor that highlights the colour chosen for the cube, the centerpiece of this renovation.

The ceiling rails were retained, while the original parquet floor was sanded and glazed while retaining its natural colour. The two structural posts that weighed down the space are now adorned with striated wood, allowing them to disappear throughout the living area.

A real trompe-l'oeil that hides the classic codes of the office.

LE GESTE EN LUMIÈRE I ENAMOURA

February – April 2024

Une scénographie immersive pour mettre en avant six artisanats : terres mêlées, estampées, tournées, chamottées, pièces de vannerie et porcelaines se dévoilent avec leurs étapes, leurs outils, leurs matériaux.

How do you work with clay so that it becomes an object of use? How do you make a wall lamp, a hanging lamp or a floor lamp? This is what ENAMOURA and ARCHIK are showing us. This new exhibition in ARCHIK’s Parisian showroom highlights the age-old skills and know-how that give life to the iconic “Lisette” model, handcrafted in Provence.

ENAMOURA

Enamoura, inspired by “Enamourado”, Provençal for lover, takes shape as a project embodying the spirit of southern vacations. After several years spent in Grenoble, Magali Avignon returns to her native land, in the heart of the Vaucluse. She shares her love of the land through a variety of projects, always with the same goal in mind: to revive the Provençal Art de Vivre.

Magali imagines her own collections of timeless lighting fixtures handmade in Provence, inspired by her childhood memories and objects found at local flea markets.

ARCHIK and ENAMOURA share a common desire to shine the spotlight on fine crafts through this exhibition, exploring materials and creativity.

VOLTA

Interior Designer

architectes@archik.fr

After an initial training in publishing, Agathe Lavaud’s desire to develop through creation led her to turn to architecture and interior design. After graduating from ESAG Penninghen in 2014 and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Marne-la-Vallée, she completed her studies with a semester in Italy. She then joined Renzo Piano Building Workshop, where she obtained her Habilitation à la Maîtrise d’Œuvre en son Nom Propre.

Agathe acquired solid experience at Wilmotte & Associés, Vidalenc Architectes, and Thierry Lemaire Architecture before setting up her own structure in 2016: agence Volta. Volta stands out for its attention to detail and harmonious blend of contemporary and traditional design. Each project is unique and benefits from personalized research in terms of volumes and materials, always guided by the existing context. The result is harmonious, refined spaces that reflect a clear vision of the art of living.

Agathe draws her inspiration from natural materials and the balance between tradition and modernity. Each project is an opportunity to sublimate the existing by choosing textures and volumes in perfect harmony with the site.

Joining ARCHIK was a natural choice. Sharing a common sensibility for beauty and the enhancement of architecture, Agathe finds at ARCHIK an approach that favors the intelligent use of space and the use of timeless materials, in perfect harmony with her values.

Marine BACHELLERIE

Team leader

After a childhood spent between Brittany, South-East France and… Tahiti, Marine will settle in Paris before moving to Marseille in September 2021. After studying law and specializing in real estate law, Marine naturally put her knowledge to good use by choosing to work as a real estate agent in Paris for ten years.

Her many moves punctuate her life, and with a passion for travel, she’s always on the lookout for a change of scenery, new encounters and cultural discoveries. Particularly through Asia and Indonesia, where she lived for several months.

Marine’s love of the home began at an early age, when she was raised by her parents. Marine is sensitive to the charm, harmonious volumes and light of a living space. “I love the idea of projecting yourself into a place, rethinking it, decorating it and adding your own stamp to it.”

Marine discovered ARCHIK when she arrived in Marseille, through her sister Alexia, who is part of the team as a negotiator. After other experiences and a renovation project, it wasn’t long before Marine felt the need to return to her original profession. And so it is that Marine joins the ARCHIK team, ready to support her customers in the south of the city!

Marine COCAIGN

Negotiator

‭+33 (0) 6 77 21 92 83‬
marine.cocaign@archik.fr

Although Marine began her career as a private law lawyer in Paris, she is without doubt the most Mediterranean of all Parisians !

Indeed, her childhood in Marseille was punctuated by weekends in the Camargue, and Sundays in Sormiou and Les Goudes. She’ll never forget these Mediterranean jaunts, and it’s no surprise that she decided to leave Paris with her husband and set down her bags in Tunis in 2014. She immersed herself in the city’s post-revolutionary effervescence, discovering its stalls and mazes and coming into contact with artisans, and decided to change course. In love with materials, crafts and local know-how, she decided to develop a concept to promote craftsmanship through the creation of 100% made-in-Mediterranean decorative objects in materials such as wrought iron, leather or palm fiber: “IJA” was born.

After returning to the South of France, she decided to change course and discovered ARCHIK. And working with the brand was an obvious choice: combining her legal expertise with her love of architecture and beauty, with a common denominator: a taste for others. Discovering unique properties, meeting people from all walks of life, accompanying them in their life projects – that’s the ARCHIK spirit!

Éline PASSINI

Negotiator

+33 (0) 6 71 67 15 60
eline.passini@archik.fr

As the daughter of an architect, Eline grew up in the midst of Parisian construction sites and the creative effervescence of competitions at her father’s firm, where prestigious names such as Hôtel Drouot and Théâtre du Rond-Point resonated. It was the construction of Renzo Piano’s Centre Georges Pompidou that made the deepest impression on her, inspiring an unshakeable passion for architecture. She took her first steps in the field by collaborating with her father on the construction and renovation of several houses and apartments, enjoying every opportunity to breathe new life into spaces with a fresh vision.

The architectural currents of the Bauhaus, embodied by the works of Walter Gropius and Rietveld’s Schröder House, as well as the ideals of De Stijl architects such as Le Corbusier and his Villa Savoye, had a profound influence on her perception of space and design. His love of glass, exemplified by the Eames House, and his admiration for the furniture of Charles and Ray Eames, as well as his attraction to modern materials such as steel and titanium, represented by the works of Franck Gehry, testify to his passion for innovation and modernity in architecture.

Yet it was perfume, the often neglected art of composition, that became the common thread running through her life. After a successful career with major companies such as Henkel and Coty, where she developed a keen eye for cultural, artistic and architectural trends, she turned to the world of fragrance. After graduating from ISIPCA in perfume creation, she founded her own company, creating scented objects for the home. Over the years, she has discovered the riches of craftsmanship around the world, drawing inspiration from every encounter to create unique objects.

Following the sale of her business, she embarked on the renovation of a Parisian pied-à-terre, a project that took her back to her architectural roots, carried out hand in hand with ARCHIK Paris. And she joins the adventure, finding harmony between entrepreneurship, architecture, design and real estate, and wishing to put her expertise at the service of her customers.

PARIS DESIGN WEEK

7 – 16 September 2023

For the 3rd year running, ARCHIK is supporting French design and creativity by partnering Paris Design Week. In September, Sabourin Costes will have carte blanche to create an exclusive scenography to showcase and unveil our new edition, co-created with the design duo.

Paris Design Week has become a not-to-be-missed highlight, giving a voice and visibility to emerging and established artists at our Parisian home in the heart of the Marais district, 14 rue de Montmorency.

This year, with the support of Le French Design by VIA, we are launching our 8th edition, co-created with the design duo Sabourin Costes. Paola Sabourin and Zoé Costes have been given carte blanche to imagine an exclusive scenography and unveil our edition during #PDW23. It will be revealed at the heart of a scenography composed of pieces created by the designers for their first solo show, like a dialogue between the straight line and the organic curve.

A preview launch for Sabourin Costes and ARCHIK.

SABOURIN COSTES

Sabourin Costes is a design studio founded by Zoé Costes and Paola Sabourin.

From their Paris studio, they compose and shape surprises. By combining a meticulous exploration of materials and how they are used with formal and functional research, they create singular objects that catch the eye and celebrate the everyday.

Their preferred materials are simple yet refined: lacquered wood, polished stainless steel or transparent resin. They play with reflection and distortion to create unexpected, contemplative moments.

ARCHIK X Sabourin Costes is the result of a shared desire to explore and give birth to a unique creation, a retranscription of two distinct worlds that meet and complement each other.
