The story is set in the 1870’s with locations in Denmark (Copenhagen), Sweden, and Norway, including a Norwegian Lapp Camp.


Our Visual Development team has designed Andersen’s universe true to the Victorian style of the late 19th century:


  • Based on real-life models
  • Tactile surfaces
  • A closed, intimate universe
  • A rounded style, slightly curved lines
  • ”Stumpy”, doll-like  proportions
  • A handmade, Victorian dollhouse feeling
  • Victorian period costumes and furniture
  • Victorian urban environment architecture
  • Traditional fachwerk/brick architecture for the poorer  city quarters

We have fully designed around 50 sets in urbanised areas, both interiors and exteriors, and around 25 natural environment exterior sets at various geographical locations with their specifics.


We have created around 950 props, including furniture, vehicles, boats, tools, toys, food, and more.
