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.

Louis EISENLHOR

Architect HMONP

architectes@archik.fr

Louis’ vocation for architecture was born very early, cradled in a Marseilles family where sensitivity to beauty is a story of transmission. After graduating in 2012 from the National School of Architecture in Marseille, Louis began his career in Paris with François Brugel Architectes Associés, an agency that deals with housing, rehabilitation and extensions. He thus learned to work in and with the existing, playing with it and with pure creation.

His approach to architecture is identity and his approach sincere, which is felt in the aesthetics of his work.  His reflection on the projects goes far beyond the respect of a specification: he immerses himself in the place, “captures its sensitivity because it is that which will make the project, in addition to the desires and needs of his clients. Here, we create with the concern of revealing the qualities of a place, of an architecture, of a materiality, by using two to three natural materials per project, not more.

Louis’ vocation is to produce an architecture that values themes such as: framing, natural light, path and rhythm. He spontaneously cites Sverre Fehn’s Nordic Pavilion, designed in 1962 for the Venice Biennale of Architecture, as the ultimate reference.

Louis shares with ARCHIK more than a geographical identity, of course. The particular attention paid to materials and their quality, but also this thoughtful approach to living, this common vision of how to live and feel good at home. Let us guide you!

COTE OUTDOOR

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.

Nathalie Rozencwajg

DPLG Architect

architectes@archik.fr

Immersed in a multicultural environment since her birth, between Luxembourg and Brussels, Nathalie flew to London in 1996 where she studied architecture at the Architectural Association. Her career path and experiences led her to work in renowned firms where she participated in large-scale projects around the world: the Onassis Foundation in Athens, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Great Britain, and numerous projects in China. Wishing to fly on her own, she created several agencies in 2007 and founded NAME in 2018. Between London and Paris, the agency works on projects of various scales, from the individual to the collective, often winning awards. Among the emblematic projects, an Arctic resort in Lapland, a shopping mall in Bangkok and a new hotel for a desert climate.

Nathalie brings that European touch of elegance and attention to detail and aesthetics, which appeals to her international clients. She is a regular contributor to architecture & design magazines and participates in conferences for international audiences.

Her projects are inspired by the city and the urban lifestyle, but also by the history of a place, its materials, its patterns or the traces found there before renovating it. She cherishes light wood, white, linen, ceramics, and Luis Barragán’s architecture for its mastery of proportion, light and color.

With ARCHIK, she shares the same universe where Beauty has a primordial place, and where the history of a place shapes a renovation.

Heju

Interior Designers

architectes@archik.fr

Hélène Pinaud and Julien Schwartzmann met on the benches of the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Strasbourg in 2015. After graduating, they founded their own studio HEJU in 2015 and created a universe mixing Japanese and Scandinavian influences.

Using minimalist lines and volumes, they create timeless places with the aim of optimising spaces, challenging codes and customs while advocating a return to emotion. They infuse poetry into their clients’ daily lives while favouring natural, living materials that develop a patina over time. The choice of materials, colours and textures is at the heart of their thinking in order to create atmospheres that appeal to all the senses.

At HEJU, beauty comes in the simplest details, as evidenced by their architectural compositions, furniture lines and material combinations.

Their projects are the result of deep spatial and functional reflection, in line with the essence of the place and the lifestyle of their clients. Several values unite us: the continuity between art, design and architecture, in order to create unique places. The fluidity of volumes and the love of the modernist trend.
