Born into an artistic family, Lucie is sensitive to the spirit of the place. After completing a Khâgne, two humanities degrees at the Sorbonne and a communications diploma at the London School of Economics, she first explored her love of stories in publishing and then in the media.

Several projects, including an apartment in the heights of Belleville in Paris, a townhouse in Marseille’s Panier district and a farmhouse in the Perche region of France, have given her a foothold in the world of renovation and architecture.

From ancient buildings to modernism, all architectural trends appeal to her as long as they bring the soul of a place to life. Sensitive to the precepts of Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy, she is passionate about the work of Axel Vervoodt, which gives pride of place to natural inspiration and contemplation.

Attached to places that tell stories and have been designed to house them, it’s obvious that she should turn to ARCHIK. Drawing on this sensitivity and a human ear, she accompanies those who, like her, are keen to encounter singular architecture that embraces their dreams.

Cagnard

June – August 2023

The exhibition that brings together Marseille's new design scene.

“Cagnard” means raw sun, scorched rock and the Corniche in Marseille. A return from the beach, the body numbed by the rays, the skin still salty. And then, a metal bench, refreshing in the scorching air. All around, the blue sky and the Mediterranean soothe the soggy spirits.

This exhibition brings together Marseille’s new design scene. In this scenography halfway between the sidewalks of the Corniche and the rocky depths of the Mediterranean, ARCHIK presents a curation conceived as a concretion of radical, colorful and organic pieces.

The artists

Born on Reunion Island, LÉA BIGOT, a native of Marseilles by adoption, creates sculptures with organic lines inspired by the energies of nature. Somewhere between design and art, her unique, free-form pieces are made in ceramic and pewter.

From their workshop in Marseille, ROMAIN CARLÈS and PAUL DEMARQUET perpetuate a woodworking tradition that is deeply rooted in the Mediterranean art of living. They design modern, timeless, sunny and aquatic furniture and objects, in one-off pieces or limited series.

Born in Nîmes, AXEL CHAY now lives in Marseille. He designs radical, colorful pieces, mostly in metal. Influenced by the Memphis movement, his functional, sculptural designs have already become iconic.

A designer sensitive to curves and drawing, THOMAS DEFOUR lives and works between Hyères and Paris. Lacquered tubular steel, boat-inspired nylon netting, bespoke carved wood, he imagines objects with a post-modern approach and mixes traditional manufacturing methods.

SOPHIA TAILLET finds inspiration in exploring materials. The designer thinks of her functional pieces as sculptures, especially glass, which she shapes as she experiments.

The artists

Originally from south-eastern France, DELPHINE DÉNÉRÉAZ is a visual artist who lives and works in Marseille. With a degree in textile design, she creates pieces using the lirette weaving technique, which consists of creating tapestries from reused domestic fabrics.

France and Caroline have combined their names to create ATELIER FRANCA, a ceramics workshop that revisits codes through handcrafted pieces with pure, organic lines. Their signature: sky-blue, ochre and white earthenware.

Photographers and artistic directors, Steven and Coline of IGO STUDIO evolve in a universe that is both realistic and absurd. They also express themselves through the creation of objects that materially represent their universe, largely inspired by the “Marseilles aesthetic”.

Interior architect and designer MARION MAILAENDER lives and works between Paris and her native city. She imagines bold interiors for hotels, restaurants and private clients, as well as design pieces that combine “fun and function”.

SOUTHWAY STUDIO, an artists’ collective founded in Marseille by Emmanuelle Luciani, is an “unclassifiable” structure that promotes and revisits the decorative arts. SOUTHWAY STUDIO is also a lively, multi-faceted gallery, artist residency and bed & breakfast in the heart of Marseille.

“In a sunny atmosphere, “Cagnard” presents a dozen artists and designers from Marseilles linked by their attachment to the Mediterranean and its territory. An experience of the corniche under the sun embodied by creative people”.

Souvenirs de l’antique I François Bazin

March – May 2023

This exhibition retraces the creative process of the designer who imagined a scenography with a soft and comforting atmosphere, evoking his travel memories.

Through this scenography, François Bazin expresses his vision of a graphic design with pure lines, inspired by plants and architecture. He also pays particular attention to environmentally friendly production methods and the choice of materials he uses. Each object is made by French and European craftsmen, selected for the quality of their work.

Most of the pieces on display were designed for the occasion. Some of them are directly inspired by the discoveries he made during his visits to historical sites. We find the shapes of a column, a fountain or an acanthus leaf. Others come from his observation of nature, like the meridian, inspired by the movement of the waves and the sunset, which the designer contemplates every summer evening.

François Bazin

François Bazin studied at the Versailles School of Architecture, where he deepened his knowledge of classical arts and garden architecture.

Self-taught, he began with drawing, then worked on wood sculpture before creating ceramic pieces. Inspired by nature, he now creates lighting, furniture and small objects for galleries and interior designers, for whom he also creates custom pieces, adapted to each project.

Through an immersive scenography that transports us into a cozy living room inspired by the homes of ancient Greece, François Bazin evokes his memories of travel.

Varnishing

SAINT-DENIS

Located 10 km north of Paris, the city of Saint-Denis, cosmopolitan and multicultural, has experienced several waves of development and continues its transformation today.

First famous for its basilica, emblem of the city, the historic center has several monuments of remarkable architecture. It also houses the Parc de la Légion-d’Honneur, adored by families and inhabitants of the district, but also the largest market in Île-de-France, a veritable institution and witness to the territory’s trading past.

Crossed by the Seine which offers picturesque landscapes along its banks, the Saint-Denis canal has gradually become a place for strolling and relaxation. Appreciated by its inhabitants, Saint-Denis embodies the main character of the eponymous song by the artist Grand Corps Malade, an ode to “the great lady”.

The city has also experienced contemporary architectural developments, in particular with the construction of the Stade de France around which a brand new district has been built combining housing, shops, restaurants and a cinema. With the future Saint-Denis – Pleyel station, whose inauguration is scheduled for 2024, Saint-Denis is preparing to become a real centrality in northern Paris.

États de Verre I ATELIER GEORGE – GARNIER & LINKER

Novembre – Février 2023

As part of the launch of its Revue N°4 on the theme of glass, ARCHIK presents an exhibition as a tribute to this timeless, malleable and infinitely reusable material, which has been present in architecture and design for decades.

Atelier George

Atelier George is a duo composed of Eve George and Laurent Fichot, designers and glassblowers. In their workshop, they work together from design to manufacture. Their work includes lighting, tableware and wall tiles, all created using molten glass techniques. Each object of the Atelier is unique: thanks to the mastery of glass blowing, the objects are never reproduced identically.

This exhibition highlights the co-creation of the TANGO edition. ARCHIK invited Atelier George to create a scenography illustrating the glassblowing technique through its new edition as well as a selection of pieces from its collections. The TANGO edition is displayed on a black table with bluish reflections by designer Xavier Montoy. An Arc chair by Pascal Mourgue invites you to sit down. Behind it, a wall weaving by Léa Parraguin echoes the shades of blue of the lights and vases from the Atelier George collections.

Garnier & Linker

The strength of the design duo Guillaume Garnier & Florent Linker lies in their ability to enhance forgotten techniques and to constantly renew their application and aesthetics. This strength also resides in the creative method they have put in place: a hybrid process that borrows as much from design as from craftsmanship and sculpture, and that comes to life between the studio and the workshop.

The Garnier & Linker collection was born of experiments with ancestral materials and know-how. Alabaster, obsidian, volcanic stone, bronze, plaster and solid cast glass: all materials reinterpreted in a contemporary language. Each model is handmade by French master craftsmen.

The techniques of blown glass and lost wax glass paste are highlighted in this exhibition dedicated to the material of the year: glass.

Graduated in psychology and trained in coaching, Agnieszka has been working for over 15 years in the Warsaw real estate market, first in an agency and then in promotion. In 2008 she decided to open her own agency, focusing on selected properties and quality service.

Because of her Polish roots, Agnieszka is fascinated by socialist realist architecture for its monumental dimension and dignity; but her iconic architectural trend remains modernism, especially when applied to public buildings and private villas. Agnieszka is also passionate about interior design, cooking, jazz and nature. She is inspired by her encounters and everyday life: a shop window she rides past on her bike, the unexpected colours of the tiles in a hotel bathroom, the light coming through a roof window… In terms of materials, she loves wood, synonymous with warmth and conviviality.

Arriving in Paris in 2014, she discovered the profession of property hunter. Through this, she quickly began a collaboration with ARCHIK, sharing the same taste and values. ARCHIK combines everything that is dear to her heart: interiors with a singular style, a keen sense of architecture and design, and finally a unique approach towards clients with a particular attention to their needs. It was therefore only natural that she joined the growing team.

It is now at ARCHIK and in Paris that she puts her taste for beauty and her listening skills at the service of people who wish to find or put up for sale properties with a unique character, and benefit from personalised support.

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.
