Sapid Studio designs minimalist photography studio Studio 18% in Geneva

Swiss architecture and design firm Sapid Studio, co-founded by Cécile-Diama Samb and Michael Piderit, has completed Studio 18%, a photography studio in Geneva for artists Alicia Dubuis and Roman Lusser. Located on the ground floor of an industrial building near Geneva Airport, the 190 sq m space features 8 m high ceilings, a mezzanine made of Glulam timber and plywood, and a cyclorama for seamless backgrounds. The design prioritizes lighting conditions, using galvanised steel grating panels and a neutral palette to avoid color reflections. The studio includes a kitchen, production desks, styling areas, and changing rooms, all conceived for flexible use during photoshoots. Sapid Studio, known for hospitality interiors and small-scale architecture, applied rigorous attention to detail to create a functional yet minimalist backdrop for creative work.
