Scenographiesthat Last Scenographies that Last
Planning a dinner, a corporate event, an exhibition or a festival in French-speaking Switzerland? I design bespoke scenography for you. I'm Karen Pisoni, scenographer and interior architect. My approach blends spatial design, object design and a curatorial eye. Every event gets its own soul and leaves a mark. The set, meanwhile, lives on elsewhere.
Corporate events
For your dinners, canapés, parties, stands and client gifts, I design bespoke, sustainable scenography across French-speaking Switzerland.

A sustainable approach
Where do the objects at your event come from, and where do they go afterwards? I care about offering an alternative to objects with too short a lifespan. On one side, I work with what already exists: your own fittings, or the dormant stock of my partners, designers, artists, shops and local businesses. On the other, I design bespoke pieces that make the moment unique. They are made to live on afterwards.
For Design Heads: Creation of Tomorrow, HEAD – Genève wanted a new display system. I imagined the scenography by repurposing Migros shelves, which became modules. I also designed and made the Two Hands and Ten Fingers Lamp, which lights them.
Object design
For your event, I design and make unique objects from reclaimed materials. Easy to dismantle, repair and recycle, they are made to last. After the party, they do not end up at the bottom of a box. They join the Pisoni–lab collection and carry on their story in a new home.
