Thierry Reverdin
Model maker
Genève

« The model is where the idea becomes matter—a balance between technical precision and artisanal intuition. »

After growing up in Geneva, Thierry Reverdin spent several years in Rome before pursuing university studies in Switzerland. His career began in a first model workshop, followed by a second where he gained solid experience. In 1999, he founded his own workshop while teaching at ECAL, thus combining practice and transmission.

His studio primarily produces architectural models, from urban scale to villas, but also unusual objects such as airships and miniature buses. Thierry Reverdin combines artisanal techniques and cutting-edge tools, exploring a range of skills: carpentry, painting, model making, and machining. Each project goes through a rigorous series of steps, leading to the final model.
