The exhibition of 'The Wadden Sea Centre' brings visitors close to the wondrous world of the Wadden Sea and allows the audience to experience the world-class nature of Denmark. The design of the exhibition shows a relation to the unique nature in the area, which through its biological and ecological diversity is an exceptional natural wonder.
JAC Studios in collaboration with Jason Bruges Studio, No Parking created an exhibition in harmony with the special nature of migratory birds and the design creates a balance between communication and aesthetics that is unique in its field.
The Wadden Sea Centre, Ribe Denmark opened in February 2017.
The Exhibition "Gladiator – Heroes of the Colosseum" was the second large special exhibition that Moesgaard build. The exhibition revolved around a day in the arena from dusk till dawn. As a visitor you entered the arena as a slave and found yourself in the pit with the gladiators themself.
The lighting scheme was designed to be ever changing like the day. The main actor in the lighting is the sun that slowly turns into the moon as the day ends.
"Through out the project we worked with the shadow as a communicator. Outside there is only one shadow from the sun so we brought that into the exhibition."

The thoughts around the lighting design for the first floor, takes its references from nature, history and great architecture.
We wanted to create a spacious and light space, but yet private. We wanted to create a desireable, welcoming space that would serve as an inspiration and let ones mind explore. We wanted to create a space that did not reveal it self instantly, but keept you intrigued and curiouse.
The lighting design was consieved with strong references to nature and scandinavien traditions for lighting. The lighting is contrast full and plays both with the cold diffuse light and the warm direct light. The combination creates the connection to nature and makes the unique silver pieces desireable.
Every product has a story to tell about how its been crafted and designed. Through unique reflection and shadows the silver pieces tell there story through light.

The World watch of Jens Olsen is displayed in the townhall of Copenhagen, and is one of the most precise mechanical watches in the world.
The new lighting scheme is energy efficient and adds contrast to the room. The illuminated objects become the light sources and guide the visitor around the space.
We redesigned existing fixtures to create a light and visually comfortable experience that blends beautifully into the architecture.

The ancient moat (1360) around the strategic Vordingborg castle needed to be restored, and the findings displayed to the public. Two moveable containers were designed to house two large displays each.
To suit the very flexible displays, a full flexible lighting system was created. This gives the trained team the possibility to change the lighting to meet the needs of the constantly changing objects.
