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.

It is a meeting of materials and know-how, between the suppleness of a leather skin and the velvetiness of hard porcelain or glazed stoneware.

Marie CHEMIN

Sales Administration Manager

marie.chemin@archik.fr

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.

OTCHO STUDIO

Interior Designer

architectes@archik.fr

Virginie began her studies with a master’s degree in Sociology in 2005. But it was at the Ecole Boulle in the Space Design section that she found her means of expression and true fulfilment.

She began her career in 2013 as a Project Manager at Atelier FB, a Parisian architecture firm, where she learned the rigour and technicality of the profession. In 2017, she finally founded her own architectural firm, Otcho Studio, to devote herself to a clientele of individuals wishing to rethink their homes.

Concerned with the dialogue between sociology and architecture, Virginie puts her sense of observation and intuition at the service of her projects. For her, finding the right equation between function and aesthetics requires a precise analysis of the space and materials, but also of the lifestyle and needs of the future occupants. “The boldness comes afterwards, to serve the simplicity and singularity of the place.

In terms of inspiration, Oscar Niemeyer, Luis Barragán, Frank Gehry, Charlotte Perriand, Andrée Putman, Gae Aulenti, Joaquim Tenreiro, David Hockney, René Magritte, Zao Wou-Ki, constitute Virginie’s non-exhaustive repertoire of references, whether for modernity, functionalism, audacity, colouring, abstraction, elegance or proportions.

Driven by the desire to understand her clients and the essence of their projects, Virginie shares with ARCHIK the quality of the support and the sense of detail that structure an architectural project and its success.

Jessica PAYET

Interior Designer

architectes@archik.fr

A Parisian with a sunny personality, Jessica began her career in an advertising agency and worked for ten years as a group leader. Passionate about decoration, she undertook a training in interior design and created Jessica Payet Interior Designer in March 2021.

Her work is influenced by the Haussmannian style, which she likes to break away from while retaining its charm. “All styles can work harmoniously if you have the keys and tips to do so. Jessica likes to make spaces timeless and unique by adapting to the personality and desires of its inhabitants. Her specialty? The creation of 3D perspectives allowing her to appropriate the places she invests. In love with nature, she favors natural materials such as wood, stone, rattan and plants such as Moonflower or Jasmine to purify the air in her projects.

Sensitive to the works of Sofia Lind for their romanticism and the curiosity they arouse, art is an integral part of her work: photographs, art reproductions, framed or panoramic to captivate the eyes. The opportunity for her clients to tell their stories in a unique way.

Seduced by the “art of living” according to ARCHIK, Jessica adheres to our 360° vision of real estate and becomes one of our Parisian partners. She accompanies you in your renovation projects, combining both beauty and well-being.

Landscape Designer DPLG

paysagistes@archik.fr

After completing her studies at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Paysage de Versailles-Marseille, Elodie Wehrlen became a DPLG landscape designer in 2013. This native of Alsace chose – after having worked for local authorities – to create her own structure, Côté Outdoor, and to dedicate herself to the development of gardens and terraces for individuals. “A desire to change scale. The exterior should be the centerpiece of the house. In Marseille, the potential is under-exploited and often relegated to the last part of the layout.

Her encounter with ARCHIK, whose architectural approach she appreciates, was made on social networks. An interview with Amandine led her to work on various projects. “Either before a sale to provide visual inspiration in 3D, sketches or for concrete realizations.

Her tastes lead her to prefer graphic gardens and terraces, with strong lines and the plants that go with them, such as birds of paradise or agaves.

Her favorite places in Marseille? The Docks building, for its conviviality and its contemporary identity, and a few cosy cafés like Coogee, on the Boulevard Baille in the 5th district.

SAINT-BLAISE

The Saint-Blaise district, located in the 20th arrondissement in the northeast of Paris, between rue des Pyrénées and boulevard de Charonne, is a dynamic and picturesque district.

A district in flux since 2002, included in the Great Urban Renewal Project, the district has nevertheless managed to retain a warm atmosphere, far from the tourist bustle of the city center. There are many local shops, lively markets and pleasant green spaces, such as Square Antoine Blondin.

Saint-Blaise is known for its heterogeneous architecture, combining influences from the past and contemporary touches. Integrating the village of Charonne, the district has kept the charm of the old Parisian suburbs. The narrow, winding streets are lined with buildings with colorful facades, offering a bucolic charm. The remarkable Saint-Germain-de-Charonne church, listed as a historical monument, sits as the mother of the district.

A charming mix of tradition and modernity where life is good.

TELEGRAPHE

It is in the eastern part of the 20th arrondissement of Paris that the charming Télégraphe district sits on a hill, offering a panoramic view of the city.

The district – one of the highest peaks in Paris – is outlined in the middle of its many shops, restaurants and cafes with a popular atmosphere, as well as its green squares conducive to strolling. It takes its name from the Chappe telegraph station which was once located there.

The architecture here is eclectic. There are small workers’ houses, artists’ studios transformed into lofts and old refurbished factories, alongside 1970s buildings. Quiet and urban, it attracts many families in search of a pleasant neighborhood life.

Authentic and popular
