The Green Box

CLIENT: ODENSE MUNICIPALITY
PROJECT: THE GREEN BOX
LOCATION: ODENSE, DENMARK
The Green Box, an interactive exhibition presenting 100 cool vocational training programmes available for students in Odense, Denmark, is a huge success. Especially among 7th graders.
Jørgen B. Jensen, Education Advisor at Odense Municipality says – “The Green Box has evoked a lot of enthusiasm among students as well as teachers. Combining analogue and digital features is ingenious because it reflects the reality of the vocational education programmes”.

Danish Railway Museum – Compartment of Dreams

CLIENT: THE DANISH RAILWAY MUSEUM
PROJECT: TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
LOCATION: ODENSE, DENMARK
The temporary exhibition, Compartment of Dreams, at The Danish Railway Museum exploring the Danes’ train journeys abroad is designed by Kvorning Design & Communication. The exhibition features both journeys in luxurious blue Wagons-Lits carriages destined for iconic destinations and the haphazardly Interrail journeys in the worn-down, red carriages of DSB. The two different ways of travel were both offered by Danish travel agencies in the beginning of the 1970’ies.
The Compartment of Dreams is a poetic exhibition which aims to make the visitors dream themselves; to put the everyday hassle behind and indulge themselves for a short moment. Hence, the exhibition space is structured like a train journey; before, under and after – the preparations with the travel agency, travel packing checklists and foreign currencies, the compartments, meals and dreams and finally arriving at Gare du Nord and the city of cities: Paris.
To ensure top-class experiences, the artefacts of the exhibition have been carefully selected and have been limited to an absolute minimum. Aiming to capture the essence and the mood of the journeys and, at the same time, provide a calm and spacious setting that stimulates contemplation. Uniform backgrounds streamline the expression and secures a consistent context across the setting while interactive and analogue features complement each other across the exhibition.

Danfoss Museum – Mads and his dreams

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.
