TotemCollective have been working as consultative designers for the City of Copenhagen in optimizing the workflow at the Citizen Service Centers.
The Totem Design System was centered on dialogs with the employees and the citizens. Through observations, workshops and interviews we adjusted the workspace and created a new flow in the interior.
The artist group, Superflex, has invited us to do a new set of furniture for “COPYSHOP” – a project currently hosted by The Art Gallery of Knoxville, Tennessee.
We are designing a warning display to prevent right-turn accidents involving bicycles and lorries.
The See-mi technology facilitates communication between lorries, bicycles and traffic lights at dangerous junctions. By means of this communication, the driver of a right-turning lorry is made aware of the risk of cyclists on his right side. This gives the driver an additional chance of avoiding dangerous situations.
Light and images can travel through the concrete by integrating fiber optics. This opens up a whole new world within architecture.
Designed in collaboration with Innovation Lab
Copylight is a lamp, which challenges problematics concerning intellectual property rights by the exposure of motifs from commonly known lamps.
Copylight’s take off starts from Superflex’ project, “Biogas PH5 lamp”, which is a copy of Poul Henningsens PH5 lamp from 1958.
Copylight seeks the boundaries between originals and when copies become new originals.
The big challenge of this project was to reveal only one picture at a time out of a series of four pictures in each element. We decided to create a box in which a strip of pictures rotated in a sequence that showed a new picture every five minutes. The boxes enlightened the garden and created a poetic ambience.

We were asked to give a lecture about the future of urban life seen from a digital perspective at the Computer Science Department, University of Aarhus.
