When travelling, if you want to experience good design and are tired of staying at cookie-cutter hotels and Airbnbs, check into a bolthole designed by some of the world's most respected interior design studios and brands. Designer-curated properties don't just help you create memorable and aesthetically unique holiday experiences, they also double as showrooms and stores for the studios, brands, and their partners as well. These even allow you to purchase your favourite furniture pieces or décor items for your home.
VIPP HOTEL
Scandinavia
Founded in 1932, Danish family-owned brand Vipp started out making pedalcontrolled bins but have since evolved into a modular kitchen brand that also designs furniture and lighting. The Vipp Hotel is not a hotel in the traditional sense, but rather a collection of minimalist, Scandi-styled, selfcatering holiday properties in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway that appeal to the design-conscious. An extraordinary setting combines a Vipp kitchen, furniture and home accessories in each of the one-room venues.
In Copenhagen itself, the Vipp Loft apartment sits atop a 1910 printing factory that is now home to the Vipp headquarters. Then there's Vipp Chimney House in a former water pumping station now renovated with steel-framed arch doors, terrazzo flooring, a modern steel staircase, and a dining room that opens to a private terrace. Vipp Pencil Case, an apartment in Islands Brygge-a waterfront area not far from Copenhagen's city centre-is tucked away in a sunlit corner of the courtyard of a 1930s, Bauhaus-inspired pencil factory.
Vipp Farmhouse, nestled in a forest on the Danish island of Lolland, was built in 1775, but in the hands of Vipp interior designer Julie Cloos Mølsgaard, it retains its historical, thatched roof façade and features bright, modern, and cosy interiors.
