Design Heads: Creation of Tomorrow is an event showcasing 30 award-winning projects from various prizes of the HEAD (Haute École d'Art et de Design) as part of the off-event of Art Genève. It is also an opportunity to highlight the award-winning designers and acknowledge the key role of the school’s partners, who support these talents through their prizes.


The challenge was to design a modular and reusable scenography system that could adapt to the diversity of the exhibited works: paintings, fashion, interactive installations, architectural projects, video games, jewelry, and more.




Our solution? Transforming 80 linear meters of display shelves, repurposed from Migros Vaud, into modular structures combined with white corrugated cardboard to create a neutral backdrop that enhances the displayed creations. We designed five different modules, easy to assemble, store, and reuse for future editions.








Our creation
To enrich this poetic yet functional environment, we created the "2 Hands and 10 Fingers" lamps. Inspired by the art of cardboard folding, these unique, hand-folded pieces also serve a structural role by holding the walls together.
