'''Set design for 'Scheherazade' by Léon Samoilovitch Bakst''' refers to the original scenic designs created by the Russian artist and designer Léon Bakst for the ballet 'Scheherazade', which premiered in 1910. The ballet was part of the repertoire of the Ballets Russes, an itinerant ballet company founded by Sergei Diaghilev that performed throughout Europe and on tours to America. 'Scheherazade' is based on the first tale of 'The Thousand and One Nights', with the music composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and choreography by Michel Fokine.

Bakst's set designs for 'Scheherazade' are celebrated for their opulent and exotic aesthetic, which played a significant role in the ballet's success and the Orientalism art movement of the early 20th century. His use of vivid colors, luxurious materials, and intricate patterns helped to create a fantastical atmosphere that was integral to the storytelling of the ballet. The sets, along with Bakst's costume designs, were instrumental in conveying the sensual and decadent world that the story of 'Scheherazade' evokes.

The impact of Bakst's designs went beyond the stage, influencing fashion and interior design with their bold use of color and ornamentation. The set design for 'Scheherazade' is often cited as a masterpiece of theatrical design and a high point in the career of Léon Bakst, who was a key figure in the visual identity of the Ballets Russes and a notable contributor to the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. His work on 'Scheherazade' and other productions helped to revolutionize the aesthetics of ballet and theater in the early 20th century, leaving a lasting legacy on the visual arts.
