The studio

F & F Studio —
a creative space

Located in the former priory of Marennes, F & F Studio is a unique space founded by Frédérique Bargeas, interior architect, and Franck Socha, photographer. The studio embodies the meeting of interior architecture, design, and auteur photography, with a sensitive, refined, and resolutely contemporary approach.

At the heart of the studio, a gallery under a 1890 zenithal glass roof, currently under renovation, will soon become an exhibition and creation space. This inspiring place will host artists, designers, and photographers with a view to openness, exchange, and experimentation.

F & F Studio is much more than a workshop: it is a living space, at the crossroads of heritage, architecture, and artistic expression.
