Studio

Constance Guisset founded her studio specializing in design, interior architecture, and scenography in 2009. Her work is marked by a search for balance between ergonomics, delicacy, and imagination. Her objects are attempts to explore the embodiment of movement through lightness or surprise, while defending a demand for comfort and welcoming of bodies and their gestures.

After studying at ESSEC and Sciences Po, followed by a year at the Tokyo Parliament, Constance Guisset decided to turn to design and enrolled at ENSCI – Les Ateliers, graduating in 2007. In 2008, she received the Grand Prix du Design de la Ville de Paris, the Prix du Public at the Design Parade de la Villa Noailles, and two Aides à Projets du VIA. In 2010, she was named Designer of the Year at the Salon Maison & Objet and won the Audi Talents Awards. In 2021, she received the 1977 Académie d'Architecture Foundation Medal, awarded to
“artists who contribute to the creation of high-quality architectural spaces.”

Constance Guisset works with numerous French and international furniture manufacturers such as Petite Friture, Pierre Frey, Tectona, David Design, Shiseido, Dior, La Cividina, Zanotta, Woak, Richard Ginori, Zilenzio, Billiani, etc. The studio also designs industrial objects for LaCie - Seagate and jewelry, notably for the Galerie MiniMasterpiece and the Manufacture de Sèvres. Her objects are now part of the collections of the FNAC (Duplex aquarium-cage), the CNAP (Vertigo lamp), and the Centre Georges Pompidou (Leviosa lamp).

The designer also creates interior design projects, including numerous living and working spaces for Van Cleef & Arpels in France and abroad (since 2019), the new reception areas for the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris (2025), those for the INHA in Paris (2025), the Suchaillou refuge for hikers on the Way of St. James in Haute-Loire (2024), and a room at the Villa Medici in Rome (2025).

Since 2009, Constance Guisset has been designing stage sets for shows, notably Angelin Preljocaj's ballets Le Funambule, Les Nuits, La Fresque, and Winterreise, Laurent Garnier's concert at the Salle Pleyel, and the Wang Ramirez company's choreography Everyness. She also designs exhibition scenography for the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, and the
Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille, as well as for brands such as Veuve Clicquot, Galeries Lafayette, and Molteni&C (2011, Best Scenography Award, D'Days, Paris).

In 2021, she designed the permanent scenography for the Philharmonie des enfants at the Philharmonie de Paris and the permanent scenography for the Musée d'art moderne de Fontevraud. In May 2012, a first solo exhibition was dedicated to Constance Guisset's work at the Chapelle des Calvairiennes, Centre d'Art Contemporain du Pays de Mayenne. From September 2016 to January 2017, a retrospective was held at the mudac (museum of contemporary design and applied arts) in Lausanne. A monograph was published on this occasion. An exhibition was dedicated to her at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris from November 2017 to March 2018. In 2021, her work will be presented in a solo exhibition at the Villa Noailles in Hyères (France). The Institut Français in Milan (Italy) will also dedicate an exhibition to her work in 2023.
