The next discovery
is taking shape.
New exhibitions. New collaborations.
New ways of experiencing science.
Science meets
skin science.
An evening
of wine &
discovery.
Three days celebrating the meeting of wine, chemistry and art at Château La Rose d'Or. A special vernissage and wine tasting brought together guests for an experience combining fine wines, an exhibition of crystalline artworks, scientific discovery and music.
The occasion marked the launch of Helnium's first limited-edition wine collection: just 100 exclusive bottles featuring designs inspired by the microscopic crystalline structures of wine itself.
From the vineyard to the invisible.
Château La Rose d'Or × Helnium — May 2026
SELECTED EVENTS
From a drop of wine to its own crystalline identity. The wine was crystallized and revealed under polarized light, turning its microscopic patterns into labels born from the wine itself.

Frauenfeld, Switzerland · 2025–2026
From coffee bean to molecular design. We extracted caffeine directly from Glarner Kaffee’s coffee and transformed its microscopic structure into an artwork and a product design.

Helnium au bord du lac
Après le succès de la première édition, Helnium – Au bord du Lac revient au bord du lac de Genève pour une nouvelle exposition éphémère. Cette exposition invite le public à découvrir les éléments qui nous composent et qui forment l’univers. À travers la chimie des cristaux, des réactions et des observations au microscope, les œuvres révèlent la beauté cachée de la matière et la manière dont elle se structure. Entre expérimentation scientifique et démarche artistique, Helnium propose une expérience ouverte à toutes et à tous : un moment de curiosité, de partage et de découverte, au cœur de Genève.
Événement gratuit et accessible à tous les publics.
Vernissage en plein air – Helnium au bord du lac
Un vernissage non officiel, ouvert à tous les passants. Cinq œuvres de la collection Helnium seront exposées en plein air au bord du lac, à côté du bar La Trempette (près de l’Hôtel Wilson, Genève). Une occasion unique de découvrir l’art cristallin dans un cadre naturel, entre ciel, eau et lumière.
