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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ÉPICÈNE

Architecte d'intérieur

architectes@archik.fr

After a career in publishing, Isabelle Heilmann desire to blossom through creation led her to train in space design at the École Boulle. She then created her agency, Épicène, in 2018, for the double grammatical sense of the term, and creates public and residential projects with a timeless aesthetic. She develops interior architecture sensitive to the history of places, with soft and fluid geometry, in a spirit of lightness that aims to achieve simplicity, elegance, harmony. An open-mindedness due to her multicultural heritage, from Italy to China through India, where Beauty has no borders and is plural.

Its remarkable architecture? The Querini Stampalia Foundation in Venice, Louis Kahn’s Exeter Library and Peter Zumthor’s Thermes de Vals : strong creations that have been able to magnify the limitations of the site, and propose a “total” work that is attentive to volumes, uses, choice of materials and even furniture details.

Isabelle finds her inspiration in art, design and travel. She admires the sobriety of Japanese architecture : “everything is beautiful and well thought out, an aesthetic research that integrates the most everyday object. In terms of materials, she prefers raw wood, handmade ceramics, concrete and stainless steel, with which she likes to create compositional sets and unusual associations.

With ARCHIK, she has found an ecosystem composed of aesthetes from different backgrounds united around a common vision of the art of living, to which she fully endorses.

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.
