Matthieu Henry co-founded Sweet Scope, a design studio aiming to gently impact spaces through interactive sound installations. Together with Edern Janneau, they seek a rational yet poetic future where dreamlike ideals define functionality. These principles apply through sounds, shapes, and colors refining and stimulating our environment.

Brandstof / Leaning Sounds & Sounds of Touches
Leaning Sounds is an installation by the artistic duo Sweet Scope that you can interact with during the exhibition Choreographed Events curated by Bogomir Doringer. The simple harmonic structures encourage visitors in the gallery to naturally make music while appreciating and seeing the world through sound. During Brandstof on Saturday 7 October, Sweet Scope performed in their installation with Sound of Touches - an instrument incorporating touch and environmental lighting.

Como o design soa / How design sounds
"How Design Sounds" is an exhibition where sound is the protagonist, and establishes relationships, or resonances, between the various works. Sometimes the works offer us delightful melodies, at other times, already mute, they invoke memories of sounds long hidden and forgotten. Taking us all by surprise. "Como o Design Soa" intends to be a corollary of emotions, and sensory experiences, which, through sound, reverberate to an experience with several hands and multiple tonalities.
