Studio KO’s Scandinavian debut is a visionary Vipp guesthouse for Copenhagen’s 3daysofdesign. In an unexpected rendez–vous between refinement and roughness, Vipp has invited Marrakesh and Paris–based architecture practice Studio KO to design an ephemeral guesthouse during Copenhagen’s design festival, 3daysofdesign. Studio KO unveils their interpretation of a Vipp guesthouse responding to the Danish brand's growing portfolio of significant properties in spectacular settings around the world, from Puglia to Tasmania and Todos Santos. Studio KO has crafted a scenography that captures a tension between opposites. The project will feature bespoke iterations of Vipp’s iconic designs all reimagined through their singular lens.
Housed in a restored garage in the courtyard of the Vipp HQ in Copenhagen, visitors will encounter a mysterious monolithic structure, hiding and revealing the heart of our lives, the focal point of every home—the kitchen. One of Vipp’s hero products, the V1 kitchen, distinguished for its precision and materiality, is presented in a remarkable copper coating and will be framed by a protective shell of burnt wood made according to ancient techniques of wood preservation. Like the act of cooking, this wood touched by fire represents the archaic beginnings of humanity.
