For the HEAD – Genève Open Days on 17 January 2026, I designed the scenography and signage across all the school's buildings. The project grew out of a collaboration with Onlab, who created the event's graphic design. The idea was to carry the shapes of their graphics into the signage, giving them body in space. The day welcomed more than 3,000 visitors.





I devised a single system, adapted into totems, signage panels, information desks and a stage set, from the welcome desk to the Portfolio Reviews and from the Alum Talks to the stage in the Cube. Around forty panels, in the same mirrored material as the hanging mobiles, guided visitors through the buildings. For the bases, I started from what was already at HEAD: I reused one of the school's stand systems, combined with stickers. On the Cube stage, long garlands of around sixty mirrored polystyrene pieces echoed the shapes of the graphics and caught the light. After the event, the panels and hanging mobiles continue their story: they will soon be available in the shop.
