History

ORIGINS

Atelier WOCS was established within the Grand Hôtel de l’Observatoire in the Jura Mountains, a site historically associated with retreat, observation, and continuity.

From this origin emerged a structured framework dedicated to the attribution, inscription, and preservation of compositions across time. 

This framework now extends through a network of Cultural Chambers and is anchored in the Geneva Register, which establishes the continuity and record of all attributions.
