We then adjusted different parameters such as: height, width, position and size of the shelves and windows.Īll the modules (except for the introduction one) are composed of two thick walls and one wall made of two wood panels. We created families of six cuckoos that would be displayed together, on the same module. We took into consideration the following criteria: electricity, display height, size, sound and associated objects. We chose this set-up for aesthetic but also technical reasons. We carried out an important work on how to place the 24 cuckoos, knowing that each module was showing six cuckoos, with two cuckoos per wall side. Project ImagesĮxcerpt of the distribution document for the 24 cuckoos Project DetailsĮach module of this scenography is unique, and was custom-designed for this very eclectic cuckoo series. Thanks to a system of double panels that can turn inside out, there is no need to over protect the folded modules for their transportation.Īll in all, designing this scenography was about finding the right balance between an atmosphere bringing together tradition and contemporary design, and answering to this very technical issue of an all-in-one itinerant scenography. All the folded modules can be placed on palettes, using very little space during transport. Once folded, two of the modules are used to host the cuckoos in the thickness of their walls. The result is foldable three sided modules using hinges that also take an esthetical part in the project. The foldable principle and the transport have been main considerations in the project and have had a big influence on the final shapes of the modules. They can enjoy the sounds produced by all the clocks. The modules also have openned ans closed windows in the same manner as traditional cuckoos do.īy adding those different house shaped walls in the space, the exhibition becomes a small cuckoo village where the visitors can freely wander. We decided to work with non-painted poplar wood usually used in the crafting of traditional cuckoo clocks. The chalet has also been a point of reference for choosing the materials. The design of the five wood modules of this scenography is inspired from the shape of the chalet, which is the main figure of traditional cuckoo clocks. This scenography is focusing on both the technical aspect of a foldable display and the creation of a set associating Swiss cuckoo clocks' tradition with their new design possibilities. The exhibition has now opened in Montreal and will then travel in various countries across the world, including Singapore and the United States. The main challenge was to design a display for the clocks that could also become a transportation case for the 24 objects.
