The Wave

CLIENT: THE FISHERIES AND HARBOUR CENTRE
PROJECT: CONCEPT ACTIVITY AND FACILITATION CENTRE
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.

The Coastal Museum in Sør-Trøndelag

Posted by
CLIENT: THE COASTAL MUSEUM IN SØR-TRØNDELAG
PROJECT: CONCEPT, PERMANENT EXHIBITION
LOCATION: HITRA, NORWAY
Kvorning and the Norwegian Vindfang have won the competition for an exhibition concept about Norway’s second-largest export business, the aquaculture industry, for the Coastal Museum under the museum complex at Sør-Trøndelag in Norway. ’The Pioneers’ takes as its inspiration the tales of the initiative-takers ’from the fish-farming heartland’. Who were they? What did they think? How did they advance by trial and error? What proved successful? And what did they learn?

At Hitra, on an island just off Trondheim, it’s all about salmon. Here, fish eggs are fertilized, matured and hatched in fresh water. Here young salmonids grow to full size in the floating fish-rearing cages of the sea. And here at the Coastal Museum’s Sandstad Department they are harvested. So this is the obvious location to convey the history of the Norwegian fish-farming industry, and to let 24 pioneers tell you about their contribution to the development of Norway’s second-largest export trade.

Kvorning and Vindfang’s concept conveys Norwegian fish-farming history from 1970 to the present day through three major narratives: The local history, with animation of Hitra and the area; the national history of the pioneers along the coast from Finnmark to Vestfold, and the history of the salmon and the industry as a reworked 360-degree show with moving pictures and natural sounds in Aegir’s Hall: the octagonal cinema. Silhouettes of the pioneers reflect the dynamics. Past and present.

Timeworld

CLIENT: HERNING MUNICIPALITY
PROJECT: CONCEPT BRAND EXPERIENCE
LOCATION: HERNING, DENMARK
The Kvorning consortium with Electrosonic, Bruns and AdventureLab as partners were the only Danish prequalified exhibition designer to be compete with world top 5-designers for the concept for TimeWorld; Herning’s new indoor Brand Experience focusing on time.

The concept TimeWorld – Nothing is Impossible in Herning features a strong architectural alteration of the building, an expressive exhibition and an event concept for the 5,000 m2 permanent exhibition, proposing for instance a 40-metre spiral-shaped slide. It also features the world’s biggest watch – with a diameter of 84 metres – located on the roof of the building and thus being visible on Google Earth. An integral part of the branding strategy of TimeWorld.

Kvorning’s concept also features plans for handling the complex project elements during the stages of planning and development – from idea to realization – and plans for building the permanent exhibition.

Royal Air Force Museum

Posted by
CLIENT: ROYAL AIR FORCE MUSEUM
PROJECT: CONCEPT PERMANENT EXHIBITION
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 is based on a radical re-organization of the museum artefacts – all the unique aircrafts. The aircrafts play the leading role in a series of scenarios, where visitors can learn about their significance, function and design.
Furthermore, all the aircrafts are in the same airspace – and are flying in the same direction. Kvorning’s concept involves a lot of animations, live imagery and light- and sound effects.

Sjöhistoriska

Posted by
CLIENT: THE MARITIME MUSEUM
PROJECT: CONCEPT PERMANENT EXHIBITION
LOCATION: STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN
Kvorning crafted an exhibition concept for Boat Hall 2 for the Maritime Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. A simple, but scenographic approach changes the flow of visitors, the selection and the order of the vessels, creates new internal relations between the boat types, modifies the building and, last but not least, transforms the visitor’s experience all over.

Semi-transparent waves make the ground floor come alive. Here one is out on the open sea surrounded by various kinds of boats. Atmosphere, facts and history in one go. Lights, sounds and live imagery support the expressive design. From the stairs leading up to the first floor, the visitors will see the vessels hanging in an atrium-like open space between the floors. This open space does not exist at the moment, but it is a strong feature, which we hope to add to the exhibition space.

Once you reach the first floor, you get the impression of stepping ashore a beautiful summer night. The light is warmer and the mood is more intimate. Here visitors can step into the boat builder’s workshop. Close to the stairs a selection boat engines are displayed openly so visitors can touch and take a close look. This impressive exhibition is also supported by an expressive digital layer.
