Trailerpark Festival was a self-initiated project by ArtRebels — a spectacular 3-day music, arts and technology festival situated in the heart of Copenhagen. The festival sought and presented the best talents from a wide range of creative subcultures within music, art, technology and design.

Together with ArtRebels, Novo Nordisk Denmark created a new innovation lab as a platform and physical space where new ideas and initiatives can be fostered in collaborative and inspiring surroundings.

ArtRebels created an artistic installation with vacuum-packed time capsules capturing the essence of endangered food.

How does a small town on the periphery of Denmark’s cultural landscape keep young creative talent from moving away? This was a challenge brought to ArtRebels by Horsens Municipality, which was labouring to become a new cultural center, home to a blossoming music and art scene. By bringing some of the world's best street artists to the small sea-side town, ArtRebels managed to reinvigorate youthful participation and interest around the city and attract global and local attention alike.

Implement is a pioneering practitioner of a new, more engaging and human-focused approach to management consulting. Having undergone an internal transformation, the company wanted a brand identity that amplified the Scandinavian values on which their consultancy is built —  a flat structure, an inquisitive approach, a healthy work/life balance and a humanist view on professional life. We created a new identity formulated around their approach of prototyping and co-creation, and then activated it through a series of thought-leader events with a spatial design that played with the concept of agility and change.

A cultural education program for young people in the countryside of Denmark shaped by the vision to empower talents to become “Culture Creators”. The education focuses on the combination of theory, practice and inspiration presented by frontrunners in the cultural field.

In this way, we ensure that young people become empowered to contribute to the cultural life of the cities and are encouraged to release the creative rebel in them.

The Volunteer House centered in the Danish Red Cross Headquarters hosted a unique exhibition and experiential space aiming to unfold the complex body of humanitarian work and volunteering in engaging and educational ways.

Information and knowledge are shared through playful and sensory installations, intuitive and digital board games, VR-experiences and 100-year-old artefacts.
