The exhibition «Swiss homes & furnishings» presents interiors and furniture from the Swiss National Museum’s own collection. At its core are the reconstructed period rooms that helped establish the museum’s international reputation. Swiss furniture from the 20th century is on display in the spaces in front of the rooms. The exhibition showed from 2010 to 2016, how people’s needs of their home environment have changed over the centuries, and how furniture and rooms have been adapted to suit the new circumstances.

In collaboration with Anna Neuhor and Atelier Oï, I designed the catalogue of the exposition and the wallpapers present in each thematic room. The concept of scenography was a common work with the museum’s team.
