The humble yet intriguing architectonic works Harbour Magnets at the 2017 Aarhus Festival truly lived up to their name by attracting thousands of people to the harbourfront of Denmark’s second-largest city. Ambiente helped develop, build and install five of the eight popular magnets — a task that took our craftsmen 33 metres into the air to raise flags and involved suspending a massive helium balloon nine metres above the ground to resemble a full moon.
"Bringing an artistic project like The Harbour Magnets to life, the centrepiece of the 2017 Aarhus Festival, demands extraordinary resources and expertise. We are truly pleased that we chose to collaborate with Ambiente. They immediately grasped the architects’ ambitious vision, translated it into reality, and maintained complete oversight of all legal and safety requirements involved in building in public spaces. Their experience and professionalism were invaluable to the success of the project."
Henrik Gadegaard, Administration Manager at Aarhus Festival
