The mood of

Batiik studio

The Divine Bar on rue d’Hauteville, Amelie Maison d’art, the mini Hôtel Montparnasse…. The Batiik studio, founded by Rebecca Benichou, is on all fronts but always with a very personal style: colorful and joyful, refined and harmonious.

 

Through a permanent dialogue between disciplines, the studio adopts a singular approach seeking a balance between aesthetics and rationality. The “Ambroise Collection”, the new project of gallery owner Amélie du Chalard – two collectors’ houses for rent in Paris where everything is for sale – is the latest demonstration. An exercise in style.

What do you usually do at this time of the week?

What is the genesis of your latest project “Ambroise Collection”?

“For these flats / galleries, it was necessary to imagine singular spaces that could reveal the works of art and let them live. We composed with white walls, natural elements: walnut, concrete and terracotta. Nothing artificial but raw materials to get to the essential. We freed up the walls to make room for the works and instead designed the floor and the objects.”

The color palette chosen for “Ambroise”?

 

“Impossible to use dark or garish colors, the shades are soft to fade in front of the creations.”

“What elements have you designed to furnish the space?”

“We designed the headboards, the central island and the living room table with the help of the artist Yasmin Bawa to imagine his feet, quite a project!”

Your wishes for the next few months?

 

“We want to make people dream, to take them out of normalcy, out of déjà vu, to take a little more risk. Here, we have just finished a project for an apart-hotel “Numeros Paris” with more colors, unexpected mixes of materials. We are experimenting with things.”

What kind of projects are you particularly enthusiastic about?

 

“All of them! I like the idea of being able to juggle between projects, not being stuck in one place, going from a private flat to a restaurant. Afterwards, hotel or restaurant projects give us more freedom, we can take more risks.”
