The Wave

CLIENT: THE FISHERIES AND HARBOUR CENTRE
PROJECT: CONCEPT ACTIVITY AND FACILITATION CENTRE
TYPOLOGY: BRAND EXPERIENCES AND VISITOR CENTERS
PLACE: HUNDESTED, DANMARK
Kvorning collaborated with the Fisheries and Harbour Centre in Hundested on its plans for an activity and facilitation centre that will convey Hundested’s maritime cultural heritage and natural amenities.
The centre is being built from six containers, assembled into one large space. It will be surrounded on two sides by a wave of larch wood, which will eventually be weathered by the elements and the sea.
”It will give a raw look, and the containers belong in the harbour, so it’s thematically sound,” states Finn Nyhuus, chairman of the Fisheries and Harbour Centre.

WINGS

CLIENT: ROYAL AIR FORCE MUSEUM
PROJECT: CONCEPT PERMANENT EXHIBITION
TYPOLOGY: MUSEUM DESIGN AND EXHIBITIONS
LOCATION: LONDON, ENGLAND
To mark the centennial The Royal Air Force in 2018, KVORNING was invited to compete for a contract of a concept suitable for a world class museum, conveying the history of RAF in a way that engages, inspires and attracts both adults and children.
KVORNING’s exhibition concept was based on a radical re-organization of the museum artefacts – all the unique aircrafts. The aircrafts played the leading role in a series of scenarios, where visitors could learn about their significance, function and design.
Furthermore, all the aircrafts were in the same airspace – and were flying in the same direction. Kvorning’s concept involved a lot of animations, live imagery and light- and sound effects.

CONCEPTS FOR QATAR

CLIENT: MSHEIREB MUSEUMS
PROJECT: TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS, TRAVELLING EXHIBITIONS
LOCATION: DOHA, QATAR
In the first round of an invited competition organised by Msheireb Museums in Doha, Qatar, KVORNING provided blueprints for concepts of eight temporary exhibitions and two travelling exhibitions. The concept Disposable People explores the theme of modern slavery through photography.
It looks into how human traffickers see people as commodities and illustrates how many individuals, in spite of their situation, show an incredible resilience and strength. The concept is intended to be a travelling exhibition. The concept Branded takes its departure in the power of brands; who is owned by whom?
African Descent challenges traditional perceptions of Africa by showing some of the continent’s contributions within science, philosophy, technology, human rights, politics, culture and more – this will be an international travelling exhibition.
