The Tønder Marsh Initiative (TMI) is a cooperation between some of the largest foundations in Denmark (Realdania, A.P. Møller Fonden and Nordea-fonden) and Tønder Municipality to develop the southernmost part of the country so it becomes attrative to visit, live and work in.
Recently inscribed as World Heritage Destination and UNESCO World Heritage property, part of the landscape encompasses the largest National Park in Denmark, The Wadden Sea National Park. As an educational assignment, I was asked to create wayfinding for the nature and small towns in the area, but after an extensive research phase, the project quickly evolved into MARSKLAND, a holistic concept including brand strategy and visual identity.
