ON. Japanese Kanji meaning the act of revealing what is invisible

YO. Japanese Kanji that reminds us of the sweet warmth of the returning spring

Onyo is an immersive art studio co-founded in 2021 by Charlotte-Amélie Veaux and Yann Garreau. With passion and expertise, we combine art, technology, and sustainability to create works that bring the world to life. Join us in exploring a world where ideas take shape through touch, sight, and sound, transforming every project into an immersive and unforgettable experience.

The studio’s history is a unique journey, shaped with passion by its founders, Charlotte-Amélie Veaux and Yann Garreau.

In 2019, after several years in the consulting industry, they decided to take a year off to explore immersive cultures. Their journey took them through some fifteen countries, where they met a wide range of artists, researchers, designers, and entrepreneurs, participating in over a hundred inspiring experiences. This transformative journey profoundly changed their worldview. 

In 2020, upon returning home, they decided to turn this research project into a true life’s work. Driven by the creativity and inspiration they drew from their journey, they founded the studio with a clear ambition: to design immersive experiences that help each participant reconnect with themselves, with others, and with the living world around us. They are committed to minimizing their impact on the environment, striving to leave behind a more vibrant and harmonious world.

More than three years have passed since the studio was founded, and their determination to make the world a more vibrant place has only grown stronger. Every project, every experience, is a new opportunity to share their vision and inspire change. 

Join us on this journey to make the world a more vibrant, connected, and resilient place.
