Her Majesty The Queen designed the scenography and costumes for the 2023 Bille August feature film “Ehrengard”. The Queen created a vast number of découpages in her work for the film, as a means to visualize the fairy tale world of the Karen Blixen novella that the movie was based on.

As part of the exhibition design we designed custom book tables, frames, and easels as well as stools and benches.
