"There is a form of balance that I am always looking for - one that combines beauty, simplicity, and emotion."

ARTEFIKO

Furniture & decorative object design, SAINTE-CATHERINE (62)

Juliette tells us how her taste for beauty and other places led her to imagine sensitive and deeply personal interiors.

Tell us your story, how did your vocation come to you?

I've always been drawn to interiors that have soul, where every object has its place and tells a story. My appreciation for beauty, craftsmanship, and natural materials has grown stronger through my studies, experiences, and especially my travels. One day, everything fell into place: it was time to create ARTEFIKO.

How would you describe your style, your artistic approach, in a few words?

Refined, warm, timeless. Each ARTEFIKO piece is designed as a breath of authenticity in an interior.

I create and select unique handcrafted pieces: tables, tableware, decorative objects… Each ARTEFIKO creation combines raw materials, clean lines and human know-how to bring meaning and beauty to our interiors.

What themes or subjects inspire you most in your work?

Natural materials, simplicity of form, the imperfection of human gesture. I love what is handmade, what doesn't cheat, what has a soul.

How do you work?

I create with a blend of instinct and precision. Each piece takes shape from a drawing, a texture, a feeling. I pay particular attention to materials, proportions, and lines. Nothing is fixed: I develop my ideas through experimentation until I find the right rhythm, the right material, the right balance. My exacting standards guide each step, ensuring the result lives up to the intention.

Do you have a particular technique, a specific expertise? Without revealing all your secrets, have you developed your own methods and techniques?

Over time, I've developed my own way of designing a piece: an instinctive attention to lines, a discerning eye for materials, and a keen eye for the details that make all the difference. I compose each creation with an overall, almost intuitive coherence, ensuring that it naturally finds its place within an interior. There's a kind of balance I'm always striving for—one that combines beauty, simplicity, and emotion.

Tell us about your daily life, your constraints, your joys, your successes…

Every day is different: between sketching, choosing materials, communicating with partners, logistics, and content creation, I'm always on the go. The work doesn't end with the creative process: deliveries are an integral part of my daily life, with their own set of challenges. It requires organization, anticipation, and sometimes reassurance. But it's also incredibly rewarding to follow each piece to its final destination. What I love most are those simple yet precious moments: a table set with care, a touching message from a client, or a piece that naturally finds its place in a home. That's when everything comes together.

Do you have a message you'd like to share, or anything else you'd like to say?

I want to invite everyone to rediscover meaning in their home choices. Behind every piece lies time, hands, ideas, a story. Surrounding ourselves with objects that reflect who we are, that last, and that have a soul, is also a way to create a space where we feel good. ARTEFIKO is, above all, about this: a sensitive perspective on things, and the desire to offer beauty in a different way.
