Our work

Wie vermittelt man etwas, das man selbst kaum nachempfinden kann? Zum 50-Jahr-Jubiläum der Schweizer Paraplegiker-Stiftung entwickelten wir für die OLMA 2025 keinen klassischen Informationsstand, sondern eine begehbare Wimmelwelt. Offen, lebendig und intuitiv erfahrbar. Herzstück war ein Rollstuhl-Parcours: Besucher:innen jeden Alters nahmen selbst im Rollstuhl Platz und durchliefen fünf Stationen, die den Weg nach einer Querschnittlähmung nachzeichnen. Vom Unfall, der Reha, den neuen Beruf, über den neuen Alltag, bis zum neue Leben.

Rapperswil Castle is a walk-in history book: In its 700-year history, it has been the high seat of the high guard, a symbol of Habsburg rule and the new home of a Polish count with his national museum.

How does science become an experience? In the new research station at Zurich Zoo, visitors can encounter natural science at eye level. Six ultra-modern research rooms that precisely simulate tropical climate conditions form the centrepiece of this unique station.

Where the view widens, the mind opens, thoughts take flight and the horizon expands, guests experience the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch like never before. On the Brienzer Rothorn, breathtaking nature meets a sustainable vision of the future.

A visitor experience that inspires an entire country? That's possible! On behalf of the Hilti Family Foundation Liechtenstein, Steiner Sarnen Switzerland created in Schaan/FL an escape room that conveys valuable educational content on the subject of biodiversity alongside action, excitement and interactivity. A visitor experience almost like a thriller.

What do we inherit from our ancestors? What remains of us humans after our earthly demise? A pioneering development? Formative memories? Or just junk? The Berner Generationenhaus is dedicated to a universal topic that is often hushed up: inheritance.

We have known that salt is essential for survival since biology lessons at the latest. Visitors to the "Salina Helvetica" experience exhibition learn that salt is also extremely important for economic life.

For decades ZOO ZURICH has been committed to helping endangered animals and ecosystems - in Masoala on Madagascar and in many other places around the world. With the new nature conservation centre, we are making the projects tangible for zoo visitors.

If you are searching for a good sausage, the Breitenmoser «Gustarium» is the place for you. The traditional company's world of experience is home to the Appenzell meat refining craft and enjoyment.

The Entlebuch is the dreamy, idyllic region where not only milk and honey are being made and enjoyed, but also Kafi Luz and cheese fondue. The Marbach mountain cheese factory offers a fresh and cheeky insight into the traditional cheese-making craft.

Thanks to Steiner Sarnen Switzerland, visitors enjoy looking down the tubes: on the NEAT Experience Trail in Surselva, twelve stations provide fascinating insights and impressions of the Gotthard Base Tunnel.

The region of Appenzell seems to be the cradle of secrets. That's why we don't want to reveal everything - just this much: The attitude towards life of an entire region fits into one bottle of Appenzeller Alpenbitter. With the "World of Herbs," we developed an experience that provides a representative home to the Swiss cult schnapps.

Ground-breaking innovations, spectacular space missions, incredible records of precision, breathtaking deep-sea adventures, record-breaking timekeeping at the Olympic Games and James Bond's best piece - OMEGA's legacy is extraordinary. We were allowed to stage this special world on 1000 square meters.

In a specially staged apartment, four paraplegics provide an insight into their everyday lives. The fictitious flat-sharing community with Matteo (17), Sarah (32), Stefan (41) and Christine (68) invites visitors to explore both the shared and the private spaces.

From the tranquil hilly landscape in the Mittelland, Emmentaler AOP has conquered the world. On the "King's Trail" in the show dairy in Affoltern im Emmental, we tell this story(s) informatively and with a humorous bite.

A pavilion that showed nothing, yet precisely due to all that "nothing" there was a lot to experience: The traveling exhibition "Niklaus von Flüe - Unterwegs" (Niklaus of Flüe - On the Road), which we designed, toured through all 26 cantons of Switzerland in the summer of 2017.

In the middle of the pedestrian zone, Steiner Sarnen Switzerland has redesigned the guest information of the Engadin St. Moritz tourism organization. As a modern welcome gesture and a strong visual statement for the digital age.

Freshly hatched from the egg, the visitors immerse in the cosmos of large and small birds. Biology and biomechanics are conveyed in a way that is just as easy to understand as the species everyday challenges and threats. An exhibition from a bird's-eye view, but with a grip on the ground.

The theme of Expo 2015 was "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life". In the Kuwaiti pavilion, we told the story of a country that consists mostly of sand and salt water and where drinking water is a precious commodity.

Probably no other building in the city of Lucerne is so transformable: The Mirror House in the ABL housing project changes with every season, with every time of day, with every moment. During the day it is almost invisible and in the evening it shines from within.

For SBB, we developed distinctive installations that represent the company’s identity. The eye-catcher is the huge, interactive clock that stands for SBB's innovative capability and reliability. The highlight: every now and then, Switzerland's most punctual clock treats itself to a well-deserved time-out.

1000 years of history and still the sky right in front of your eyes: In the Museum Kloster Muri we showcased the golden age of the monastery. Visitors enjoy an impressive glance from behind the once closed monastery walls.

St. Moritz has hosted two Winter Olympics, five World Ski Championships and was the cradle of various winter sports. We took these pioneering achievements as a starting point to develop a masterplan for Corviglia and Piz Nair.

Immerse yourself in the oldest archaeological open-air museum in Germany. As the creative minds behind the unique scenography, we want to take you on a breathtaking journey through history that stands on water. Experience an unparalleled, immersive and educational experience that will immerse you in the captivating world of pile dwellings.

In the medal table, Switzerland was narrowly outperformed by Austria. But the Swiss success at the 2017 World Ski Championships can still be celebrated in style - at the Quattro Bar on Corviglia.

At Wildegg Castle, visitors experience a touch of aristocratic lifestyle: a museum with talking castle residents, a magnificent pleasure garden and rare crop plantings take guests back to the Baroque Age.

The 2012 World Expo in the South Korean coastal city of Yeosu was held under the motto "The Living Ocean and Coast". This represented a special challenge for us in landlocked Switzerland without a coast.

How do you offer guests from all over the world an exciting experience on the mountain when there is fog all around them? We met this challenge by developing a poetic overall experience incorporating the expertise of the founding railway engineers and the incomparable high Alpine mountain world of the Jungfraujoch.

In 1816, the Grimm brothers published the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin in their first volume of German sagas. Almost two centuries later, Steiner's "brothers and sisters in spirit" created a monument to the world-famous legend with their mechanical theater.

What happens to the wastewater no later than three hours after the toilet is flushed? The tour of the Werdhölzli wastewater treatment facility organized by Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich (ERZ) provides clarification.

Mount Eiger has one of the most formidable north faces of the Alps. Even for ambitious alpinists, the ascent is a risk. Easier, but hardly less impressive is the Jungfrau Eiger Walk planned and realized by us with seven thematic stations.

The tour of the waste-to-energy plant of Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich (ERZ) was our "hottest gig" so far. Not surprising, considering that the waste of the city of Zurich is incinerated and converted into energy at infernal temperatures in this facility on a daily basis.

In developing Cailler's visitor experience, we were guided by the identity of the traditional chocolate brand: sensitive, sensual and poetic. An audiovisual journey through the history and production of chocolate awaits visitors. A pleasure for palate and mind.

It is our most photographed project worldwide and always causes irritation: The lighthouse on the Oberalp Pass. Even if the maritime monument is supposedly in the wrong place in the rough mountain world, the place for the tower is exactly the right one. But the project is not yet complete...

Winter-hard destinations are increasingly becoming yesterday's news. New, crowd-pleasing summer attractions are in demand. On the Plose in South Tyrol, we have created an iconographic staging for this.

The world’s steepest cogwheel train is a technical sensation, the ride an impressive experience. Lucerne's local mountain is a magnet for both tourists and locals. Our master plan included the optimization of the offers and structuring the mountain attractions as well as the public flows.

For the Feldschlösschen brewery, we were allowed to implement a guided experience tour in 2008. That was more than a while ago now, but the tour still feels as sparkling and exciting as a freshly tapped beer.

The gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle near Merano are considered to be one of the most beautiful gardens in Italy. Steiner Sarnen Schweiz has mobilised all available green fingers in the creative company for this botanical gem and created a sensual and colourful world for lovers.

The Tyrolean Folk Art Museum invites you on a fascinating journey of discovery. The museum opens up a world of eight unique narrative forms. From the eerie Lucifer at the entrance to renewed rooms, traditional costumes and cribs to the impressive multimedia pre -show for the court church of Maximilian I - the museum we have redesigned combines art, history and emotion to create an unforgettable experience.

In Zermatlantis, visitors enter the sunken Zermatt village of the 19th century, uncovered by archaeologists. The highlight is the Matterhorn Show. Every half hour, the landmark mountain spectacularly collapses, asking the question: What would Zermatt be without the Matterhorn?

The Loisium WeinWelt in Langenlois, Austria, is a visually and palate-pleasing getaway for lovers of fine wines. We have brought the 900-year-old wine cellars out of hiding and into the present.

Actresses and actors instead of museum guides, bar codes instead of text panels, industrial shelfing instead of glass display cases. The play-acted tours through the museum’s collection depot showcase Lucerne's treasures. The depot becomes a living stage and stands as a prototype for the departure of museums into the third millennium.

How four teams from Steiner Sarnen Schweiz set out on an unusual Tour de Suisse, how we "saved" Expo.02 with this adventure expedition - and also a tiny bit of Swiss democracy.

Long before Google Earth, we staged the country's largest aerial photograph on a scale of 1:18,000 in Switzerland's most visited museum. On the Swiss Arena, visitors discover Switzerland in a whole new way on 350 square meters - with giant steps and felt slippers.

How do you turn a castle without a collection into a museum? By staging the fairy tale "The Cold Heart" and a bold permanent exhibition. The result is one of our most charming projects - poetic and well thought-out. Even today, the museum director says that without "The Cold Heart," the castle would be a dead museum by now.

We have interwoven key scenes from world-famous fairy tales into a new glass fairy tale in a mechanical theater. Full of poetry, the tragically touching story of "Znirp and Nisseznirp" (backwards for "Prinz und Prinzessin", German for Prince and Princess) is revealed to the audience.

At Glasi Hergiswil, visitors are not just spectators. With our staging, we turn them into participants. Here, glass and its manufacturing becomes an experience that can be experienced and grasped. The exhibitions "Shaped by Fire" and "Phenomenal Glass" have inspired millions of people since 1992.
