11 Signs of the future Skive

In the future global world Skive must live by its ideas, therefore we must continuously become better at looking at the known from new angles. To put together known factors in new ways. To notice the things that we usually overlook. This is what the 11 roundabouts in Skive have to remind us and inspire us to do. The 11 Stars of Skive can be understood as our common generators of ideas. They are standing as monumental symbols in the junctions of the area where 10,000 people pass by every day, encouraging us to think about reality in new ways. To consider if something could be completely different. At work, in our families, among our friends, in our minds.

The 11 Stars of Skive must contribute to putting the area of Skive on the world map of new thinking. They must tell the world that there is a foresighted city in Jutland that, in the name of globalisation, invests in the creativity of its residents in an original, beautiful, and internationally spectacular manner. They must tell the world that there is a city that makes an effort.

The 11 Stars of Skive have been designed by the internationally reputable design studio Jacob Jensen Design, which has been domiciled in Hejlskov near Skive for 40 years. All the sculptures have also been produced by local companies, with the exception of the underlying compass rings.
The 11 Stars of Skive are the result of a visionary local working relationship. The Municipality of Skive took the initiative, but the project had never been carried through without the strong support of 20 local companies. On behalf of the municipality I would like to thank these companies. Let this project mark a new beginning where we reach out for the stars together.
