Recidencies
Regions, destinations, and site-specific institutions hold captivating stories with the power to sway trends. We help develop these narratives through residency programs and share them with the world
Utilizing strategic partnerships to activate regional stories, we make them more relevant to modern visitors, cultural institutions, and businesses in search of new collaborations. It’s a proven approach that directly benefits the businesses, institutions, and organizations involved.

Our methodology is interdisciplinary, research-driven, and, not least, people-focused. We start with the place and its surroundings—immersing ourselves in the region, engaging with locals, exploring cultural and historical contexts, and identifying the most compelling and promising themes. These themes are then brought to life through residency programs, where external experts collaborate with local practitioners to create new products, services, or artworks.

The creations are showcased globally through media, exhibitions, and trade shows, which helps ensure a lasting and sustainable impact. Effects include new partnerships, the attraction of affluent tourists, and elevating the region's brand.

How we do it

Residencies are regional forums where designers, artists, chefs, and other experts collaborate with local businesses, organizations, and institutions. During these limited-time programs, they jointly develop new products, services, or works of art, which benefit both creators and the region.

Sometimes, residencies aren’t the right fit for a project. In these cases, we find alternative ways to spotlight the people, places, or products involved.

New creations can be brought to life in many ways, like commercial collaborations, exhibitions, or publications. Other outlets include articles and various media partnerships, but the intention remains the same: outcomes that deliver a lasting impact.

Recent projects

Pavillion Nordico

We have created and executed a number of residencies around
the world. Through our interdisciplinary, research-based and people-focused process, we do a deep dive into the region, meet, and talk to, as many people as possible, read about its culture and history, thereby isolating a number of themes, which we then activate and rejuvenate through residency programs, where we bring in outside resources to work with and collaborate with local practitioners and experts.

We share these new products, services or works of art with the rest of the world through relevant media, exhibitions and at trade shows, making sure that we create lasting and sustainable impact on the regions we work with.

PN1 – Nordic-Argentine Design Collaboration

Organized and executed by us, PN1 was a groundbreaking design collaboration between the Nordic region and Argentina, spanning over three years. The project united emerging Nordic designers with Argentine craftspeople, fostand red creative exchanges through hands-on design work.

Building on past collaborations, PN1 led to the creation of unique design objects and established new partnerships. Designers gained valuable insights into Argentine craftsmanship, while companies benefited from fresh design solutions and talent, driving growth and opening new market opportunities.

Architectural Exchange, Copenhagen & Berlin

We organized a three-day program in Berlin for 90 leading architects from Copenhagen and Berlin, aimed at fostering networking and collaboration among top professionals. The event included private tours with renowned architects and artists, offering exclusive insights into their work. A highlight was a reception at the former studio of Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer, where local chefs collaborated with regional farmers to create a memorable dining experience.
‍
Participants enjoyed a blend of architectural inspiration and exceptional gastronomy, with natural wines from our partners, including a special wine crafted for the event. The program concluded with a celebration of architectural excellence and culinary craftsmanship.

Baltic and Nordic Region Collaboration

A Nordic city sought to strengthen ties with other cities and cultural centers across the Baltic and Nordic regions. We developed a project concept identifying cities and cultural centers, sourcing talent to align with shared priorities like sustainability, youth involvement, and international collaboration.

The project fostered cultural exchange and collaboration across the region, guided by the collective goals of all participants. By focusing on art, culture, and sustainability, we helped build stronger interregional connections and long-term partnerships.
