Designing an Inspiring Airport Experience

For about four million travelers a year, the arrivals hall at Billund Airport is their first encounter with Denmark. Ambiente has designed the arrivals experience to both facilitate an efficient flow through the airport and offer visitors a warm and welcoming reception, drawing inspiration from the attractions and distinctive features of southwestern Denmark.

Inspiration from Tourist Attractions
A green thread guides passengers from their arrival at the individual gates all the way to the arrivals hall. The ceilings of the gates feature elements inspired by Danish nature and culture, with subtle references to, among other things, runestones, windmills, and LEGOLAND—some of the tourist attractions visitors can experience in the area around Billund.

Custom-designed solutions for a demanding environment
A major part of the project involved developing and manufacturing furniture capable of withstanding many years of intensive use. Among other things, Ambiente designed the distinctive circular benches and a series of long, tubular installations with integrated play and activity elements. The structures appear light and playful, yet are capable of withstanding the daily wear and tear from millions of travelers.
