In 2021, Spacon & X was chosen to design two of the four upcoming exhibition areas at Designmuseum Danmark. The museum decided in 2019 to close for renovation and redevelopment in order to preserve the historic building and secure its future. The reopening of the museum is a way to showcase Danish design in a modern context.

Spacon & X engaged in extensive dialogue in order to investigate the intersection and contrast between classic and contemporary design. Through this collaboration, we aimed to strike a balance between modern, disruptive innovations and the timeless elegance of classical design. The Designmuseum Danmark, with its rich history and grand spaces, provided the perfect backdrop for our forward-thinking and experimental exhibition design. Our approach aimed to highlight the diversity of the exhibition while also paying homage to the cultural and historical significance of the museum and its expressive rooms.

As a design and architecture firm, Spacon & X creates unique and dynamic spaces while also remaining respectful of boundaries. Their cross-disciplinary approach incorporates various design techniques and methods, with a focus on utilizing sustainable materials to enhance spatial organization and zoning. The guiding principles of their work include creating a sense of presence, evoking emotion, being honest, and incorporating playfulness to foster a sense of creative freedom.

‘’We want to take the visitor by the hand, and guide them through explorations of creative boundaries, with a drive and approach to continuous questioning and enhancing as well as inspiring a perception of creative freedom in the future’’ - Nikoline Dyrup Carlsen, Founding Partner at Spacon & X’’

Spacon & X has curated an exhibition titled "The Future is Present", curated by Pernille Stockmarr, that aims to showcase the potential design of the future and the different options it can offer. The exhibition features a diverse range of art pieces that are meant to inspire curiosity and reflection on what kind of future visitors envision. Rather than providing specific answers, the exhibition poses thought-provoking questions.

The exhibition's materials have been carefully selected from a variety of local Danish firms that prioritize sustainability. The materials used include a range of textiles, lighting techniques, and diverse textures in layers and through transitions. The goal of these materials is to take a stand on the future and showcase the choices and surfaces that tell a story about their creation, character, and function. The designers believe that honest and raw designs will encourage visitors to engage with the exhibition and see the design process as a source of inspiration for the rich and creative possibilities of the future. They believe that design plays a significant role in shaping this future.
