Danfoss Museum – Mads and his dreams

Posted by
CLIENT: DANFOSS MUSEUM
PROJECT: BRAND EXPERIENCE CONCEPT, DESIGN, PRODUCTION
LOCATION: NORDBORG, DENMARK
Kvorning is responsible for the concept, design and production of the Danfoss Museum’s new Brand Experience, Mads and his dreams, about the founder, Mads Clausen (1905-1966). Set on his native farm in Als, the experience takes its cue from Mads’s ability to dream throughout his life. From pure imagination and fervent desire during his boyhood, through inspiration and creativity in his youth, to concrete goals for the future during adulthood.

Mads and his dreams brings to life the tale of a person who is capable of dreaming, setting himself goals and accomplishing them. A narrative device with conscious dramatic art, light, sound and projections. The rooms of the farm create filmic backdrops to the anecdotes. A poetic and unconstrained layer that underpins the narrative.

Displays operate on sight-lines and axes, positioning central experiences and points de vues at the end of them, with one room thereby introducing the next. In parallel with Mads’s life story and Danfoss’s development, the rooms and the stories unfurl – ups and downs – joys and sorrows.

Posted by
CLIENT: KOLDING MUNICIPALITY
PROJECT: EXHIBITION CONCEPT, DESIGN MANUAL, SIGNAGE AND DISSEMINATION CONCEPT
LOCATION: KOLDING, DENMARK
Kvorning provided the exhibition concept, design manual, signage and dissemination concept for Harteværket Visitorcentre, once Denmark’s biggest hydropower plant – today Kolding’s cultural heritage and family attraction.

Both concepts and materials were developed in close collaboration with the staff and management at Harteværket, as well as NIRAS and Baumann Boe-Whitehorn Arkitekter.

Still producing electricity, Harteværket is indeed an authentic setting. In the magnificent old turbine hall and the fascinating basement with its huge, red pipes, both grownups and kids can observe how water is turned into electricity. The centre also features a water playground.

Alta Museum

CLIENT: ALTA MUSEUM
PROJECT: PERMANENT EXHIBITION
LOCATION: ALTA, NORWAY
Kvorning has masterminded the World Heritage Rock Art Centre – Alta Museum’s 150 sq.m exhibition, Traces in Stone, about Alta’s world heritage, rock art, which opened in Norway. A modern, interactive exhibition about the rock art of Alta including UNESCO-protected rock carvings and rock paintings made approximately 7,000 to 2,000 years ago. Alta has Northern Europe’s largest occurrence of rock art from the hunter-gatherer society. It constitutes the most important evidence of settlements and human activity so far north during prehistoric times. And as a result it was added to UNESCO’s world heritage list in 1985.

The permanent exhibition offers plenty of interaction and entertainment for everyone. Here, for example, visitors young and old can sculpt out a rock carving, go exploring in the history of Alta in the Landscape Game and generate luminescent rock carvings in the dark by lamplight. Trace in Stone offers experiences and activities that will wow, inform, generate debate and provide food for thought. The exhibition also includes a selfie booth with Northern Lights, buttons and infographics that conjure up and animate the magic of the spirit world of the past.

“With Trace in Stone we invite the public to enjoy experiences, participation and exploration, while at the same time encouraging their curiosity and engagement. The exhibition provides an altogether different experience to previous exhibitions, and visitors will learn about rock art by using both their hands and their heads. The museum has been working on the exhibition for many years, and we are extremely proud that we can now show it off to both the local population and all our visitors,” states Harriet Hagan, Manager of the World Heritage Rock Art Centre at Alta Museum.
