A GENERAL CREATIVE AGENCY BY RAMDANE TOUHAMI

Since 1999, the polymath creator behind the renaissance of icons like And.A in Japan, Cire Trudon, and the phenomenon Officine Universelle Buly, has concentrated his obsession with beauty into Art Recherche Industrie, a resolutely multiform creative agency where branding is elevated to the level of total art.
ARI is a contemporary manufactory. A house where, under one roof, live together: image creation, typographic design, film production, artisanal printing, screen printing, spatial design, product development, retail scenography, but also commercial strategy and global positioning. With us, every detail matters and every craft has its place.
Our philosophy is clear: beauty is not an added luxury, it’s a strategic tool. What is beautiful stands out, what is sublime prevails. We shape brands from A to Z, with the precision of a Renaissance workshop: everything is conceived, considered, produced, without intermediaries.
This unique model has seduced houses like Gucci, Zara, and Christofle. When Frame crowned Touhami Designer of the Year in 2018 and the Financial Times featured ARI in How to Spend It, it wasn’t simply a tribute. It was the recognition of a new paradigm of luxury, where beauty becomes essential rather than accessory.

ZACAFFÉ

For Zara we designed a series of cafés that don’t look or feel like a chain, each location rooted in local culture and architecture, aligned with our idea of aesthetic deglobalization.

We created the Zacaffé brand from A to Z -shop, name, products. All in a very short time, something we excel at.

WSCS TOKYO

Located by the Meguro River in Nakameguro, the Tokyo outpost of our Words Sounds Colors & Shapes store contrasts a khaki-green exterior, perfectly suited for its muted neighbours, with an interior where Alpine rawness and urban polish mix to create a unique warmness.

A very special store for a very special place, and expression of our love for Alpine chalets and traditional Japanese woodworking.

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. Get yours here, if you dare.

HOTEL DREI BERGE

Located at 1 650 meters above sea level in the village of Mürren, in the Swiss Alps heart, Drei Berge is a family, friends and mountains lovers hideout. Electric, cinematic, original and free from the regular codes of luxury hotels, this unique place reaches the highest standards of architecture and comfort, but still makes you feel at home. We designed the entire place and transformed it into a perfect balance between a typical old chalet and a tribute to iconic designers. The Financial Times put it on the cover of their How To Spend It supplement.

USELESS FIGHTERS

We created and designed the first issue of Useless Fighters, the new magazine that takes you on an adventure to new destinations, inspires your future travels, and will show you the world from a different point of view. Published last June, it’s a celebration of the immense beauty of the people and the landscapes excluded from the Euro-centric vision of the mountains. Purchase the first two issues in our store.

A YOUNG HIKER

For A Young Hiker, we draw these mountains rugs. We also created the typography, the illustration and the overall design. Limited quantities available in our store.

DIE DREI BERGE

This revolutionary cup was created by us for the Swiss hotel Drei Berge. Cleverly designed, it can be carried anywhere: it fits perfectly into its matching plate. Therefore, all the Parisian waiters who participate in the legendary café race dream of this magic tableware. If you decide to drink your coffee while running (which happens very often), it is possible: your cup will never fall from its little plate. Produced in the Japanese capital of porcelain Arita, its quality is as spectacular as its practicality. Available in our store.

USELESS FIGHTERS

We created, designed and shot pictures for the first issue of Useless Fighters, the new magazine that takes you on an adventure to new destinations, inspires your future travels, and will show you the world from a different point of view. Published last June, it’s a celebration of the immense beauty of the people and the landscapes excluded from the Euro-centric vision of the mountains. The first two issues are available in our store.
