Corporate events

The event that sets you apart

Your corporate event is a chance to tell your story. A dinner, canapés, a symposium, a stand or a gift for your clients: I design bespoke scenography that feels like you, in Lausanne, Geneva and across French-speaking Switzerland.

Corporate dinners and parties

For your dinners, end-of-year celebrations and client evenings, I compose a setting in your image. Tables, light, objects and the way guests move through the space: the scenography accompanies the meal and gives your evening its character. I enjoy working alongside your chef or caterer.

Staged canapés

Surprise your guests with an unexpected table, conceived as an installation. The food becomes part of the scenography: colour, texture, height and light. From the moment they arrive, everyone discovers a landscape to taste.

Symposiums and showrooms

Your symposium, stand or showroom becomes a space people recognise at a glance, right down to the photos and images of your event. Repurposed materials and objects bring a fresh perspective to your world. When the project calls for it, I bring in partners chosen for it.

Bespoke client gifts

Give your clients end-of-year gifts conceived as true pieces of design: an illustrated card, a small object to collect. I often start from existing materials, which I repurpose to give them a new form. Do you work with materials? Your offcuts become objects that tell the story of your craft. Gifts people want to keep!

In five steps

  • Listening: we talk about your wishes, goals and constraints.
  • Design: I design a unique scenography, with plans, atmosphere and sustainable solutions.
  • Realisation: I bring the bespoke elements to life, favouring reuse.
  • Set-up and take-down: I install everything on site with my partners, then leave the space as I found it.
  • Second life: the objects created for you continue their story, with your clients or in the shop.

In practice

From an intimate dinner to a large celebration, the scenography adapts to the size of your event. Every project is unique: you receive a tailored quote. From the first idea to the take-down, you have a single point of contact. To be sure I'm available, ideally get in touch four to five months ahead: that way we have time to prepare everything calmly. Is your date closer? Write to me anyway and we will see together what is possible.

Tell me about your project: I'll be glad to hear from you!
