  • 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 so many attempts to explore the incarnation of movement through lightness or surprise, while defending a demand for comfort and acceptance of bodies and their gestures.

    After studying at ESSEC and Sciences Po, then a year at the Tokyo Parliament, Constance Guisset chose to turn to creation and entered ENSCI – Les Ateliers from which she graduated in 2007. In 2008, she received the Grand Prize for Design from the City of Paris, the Audience Prize at the Villa Noailles Design Parade and two VIA Project Grants. In 2010, she was named Designer of the Year at the Salon Maison & Objet and won the Audi Talents Awards.

    Constance Guisset works with many French and international furniture publishing houses such as Petite Friture, Mustache, Tectona, Nature & Découvertes, Molteni&C, LaCividina, ZaoZuo, etc. The studio also designs industrial objects for LaCie - Seagate or jewelry for the MiniMasterpiece Gallery, for example.
    His objects are now part of the collections of the FNAC (Duplex aquarium-cage), CNAP (Vertigo lamp) and the Georges-Pompidou National Center for Art and Culture (Leviosa lamp).

    Since 2009, Constance Guisset has been creating scenographies for shows, notably those for the ballets Le Funambule, Les Nuits, La Fresque and Winterreise by Angelin Preljocaj, the concert by Laurent Garnier at the Salle Pleyel or the choreography Everyness by the company Wang Ramirez.

    In 2021, she designs the permanent scenography of the Philharmonie des enfants within the Philharmonie de Paris and the permanent scenography of the modern art museum of Fontevraud.

    Constance Guisset also designs interior architecture projects, including a restaurant at La Samaritaine in Paris for Groupe Ludéric (2021), collective spaces for Van Cleef & Arpels (2019) and for Accor (2014).
