Denis Studio is a French design and research practice exploring the ethical, sensory, and spatial dimensions of care. Co-founded by artist-designer Clément Denis and design researcher Fouzy Denis, the studio creates immersive installations, multisensory environments, and participatory tools for mental health and social institutions. Its core innovation, the Méthode Denis®, integrates olfaction, sound, light, and touch to reframe the experience of space in non-clinical care settings. Denis Studio collaborates with hospitals, museums, and cultural networks across Europe and internationally. The studio is partnering with: EPS Barthélémy Durand Psychiatric Hospital (France) Living Museum Network (Spain, Switzerland) Riga’s Narcology Centre and Culture & Health NGO (Latvia) Sensory research teams in Japan, MENA and Africa Denis Studio operates as both a creative lab and an industrial partner in European research projects, committed to bridging art, ethics, and public health through design.
My project is entitled INNER CLIMATES – Design, Ethics and Non-Clinical Care Environments. It brings together cultural institutions, care centres, and design research labs across Europe to explore how sensory and spatial environments can influence mental health care through non-clinical and participatory approaches.
