GENERAL CREATIVE AGENCY

Art Recherche Industrie is an art direction agency active in major aesthetic fields (architecture, typography, graphic design, photography, writing, product development, development of brand philosophies, redefinition of identities).

Art Recherche Industrie – Works

ARI, THE GAME

Fashion, design and art definitely deserved a game! Many will laugh, others… much less. If you’re cool, this game will come to you naturally. If not, we’re so sorry. That’s life, bye bye. Complete design from the box to the banknote. Design Ramdane for Art Recherche Industrie.

OFFICINE UNIVERSELLE BULY

Development of an odour diffusion mode without heat, nor steam and with great perfuming power: the alabaster. A few drops of essential oils on this volcanic stone allows you to benefit from several weeks of olfaction.

OFFICINE UNIVERSELLE BULY

The first Paris address of the Officine Universelle Buly located on Rue Bonaparte, was inspired by the historic boutique of Jean-Vincent Bully. Polished burl walnut cabinet, chiselled by the craft of a woodworker historian, made of entablatures topped with anthemia and Louis XV-style shells, and flanked by doucine. Buly’s coat of arms logo on glazed terracotta. Bi-color floor, checked pattern made of varnished earthenware tiles from Umbria in Italy, fired in 5000-year-old Etruscan kilns at a low temperature. Step into this shop and you’ll be transported back to 1803. Design Ramdane Touhami for Art Recherche Industrie.
