The 5 major scenography trends for events in 2025

How would you define event scenography ? At Atawa, we consider it much more than just a set design: it is the key element to any successful event. Whether it's a magical wedding, a professional trade show, or a corporate party, the way the space is designed directly influences the guests' experience. It is through this design that the atmosphere, emotion, and memorability of an event are created. Discover the five major scenography trends that will define the coming year.

1. Immersive scenography : a unique sensory experience

Captivating universes for guests

Events in 2025 will focus on immersive experiences using light, sound, and video projections. This approach allows each space to be transformed into a true sensory universe, amplifying the emotional impact of the event. Every element is carefully designed to provoke reactions and leave lasting memories. To further enhance this immersion, olfactory and tactile effects can be integrated, plunging guests into an even more complete experience.

A versatile approach for all event types

This immersive scenography will adapt to the needs of each type of event. Conferences and trade shows will leverage video mappings and holograms to energize presentations, while weddings will use custom lighting effects. Private parties, on the other hand, will offer movie or nature-inspired décors. Some events will even feature interactive experiences where guests can influence the ambiance based on their movements or interactions with the installations, making each moment unique and personalized.

2. Eco-responsible scenography : more sustainable events

Recycled materials and respectful practices

With the rise of eco-friendly values, event organizers are increasingly favoring sustainable solutions. They integrate recycled materials, reclaimed wood for décor, plant elements, and reusable temporary structures. For instance, for a conference, organizers may choose stands and panels made from recycled materials, or use potted plants as decorations, which can be reused after the event. For a wedding, elements like dried flower bouquets or recycled wood arches provide an eco-friendly touch while maintaining an elegant aesthetic. This approach goes far beyond aesthetics, as it is part of a broader strategy to reduce waste while raising awareness about environmentally friendly practices.

Optimized energy consumption

In this sustainability mindset, LED lighting and the use of renewable energy help reduce the ecological footprint of events. But the commitment of event agencies goes beyond energy management: they enhance their CSR policies by adopting ethical and responsible practices. To encourage collective awareness, organizers also propose initiatives such as eco-friendly gifts or effective waste sorting systems to raise awareness of their environmental impact.

3. Modular spaces : flexibility and customization

Adaptable structures for every event

In 2025, events will be marked by the use of ephemeral structures specially designed to adapt to the needs of each activity. This modularity will allow spaces to be rearranged according to the moment's requirements, offering great freedom in design. Regardless of the format or size of the venues, this approach guarantees optimal use of every square meter.

Modular and customizable furniture

Event organizers will have the ability to redefine the space as they see fit, thanks to modular elements. Whether for creating lounges, bars, conference rooms, or stages, each area can evolve according to the event’s different phases. Moreover, customizable furniture will offer increased flexibility, allowing the environment to be adjusted to the specific needs of the moment. This concept, a true hallmark of flexibility, will open new perspectives for space management.

4. Integrated digital experience : immersion and interaction

Innovative technologies for a unique experience

The interconnection between the physical and digital realms continues to evolve, offering events new immersive perspectives. Video mapping transforms spaces into animated surfaces, while augmented reality enhances participants' experiences by allowing them to interact with their environment. Meanwhile, the latest innovations in artificial intelligence pave the way for smoother, more personalized interactions, tailored to each guest’s preferences and behaviors.

Increased personalization and interactivity

This digitalization is not limited to aesthetics; it also transforms the participant experience. Interactive kiosks and QR codes make it easier to access information tailored to each profile, while mobile apps extend immersion by offering customized content. Additionally, these technologies improve event logistics and boost guest engagement with live surveys, interactive games, or captivating virtual reality experiences.

5. The return of natural and minimalist ambiances

Noble materials and clean design

In 2025, the trend will move towards a harmonious fusion of nature and minimalist elegance. Raw materials like wood, linen, stone, and glass will become essential elements in décor. In terms of colors, natural shades such as beige, soft green, and earthy tones will be preferred for their ability to create a soothing and refined atmosphere. This style, simple and authentic, will evoke a true sense of well-being in guests, making them feel immediately comfortable in the space.

Soft and warm lighting for a soothing atmosphere

To complete this ambiance, lighting will play a fundamental role. Dimmed light sources, such as LED string lights and candles, will add a warm touch, enhancing the intimacy of the space. These elements will help create a welcoming atmosphere, inviting relaxation and conviviality.
