Vipp is a Danish, 3rd generation family–owned design company. Founded by metalsmith Holger Nielsen in the small town of Randers, Denmark in 1939, his entrepreneurial debut was a practical waste bin initially crafted for his wife’s hair salon. When Holger passes away in the beginning of the nineties, his daughter Jette inherits the bin and a metal workshop in the backyard of her childhood home in Randers. Joined by her children, Kasper and Sofie, they set out to transform the bin into a brand.Today, with its steadfast commitment to product engineering and design, Vipp equals a full–blown design universe of furniture, lighting, accessories, kitchens, and guesthouses.
At Vipp’s Copenhagen campus, Barcelona–based architecture and design studio Mesura presents their vibrant take on the Vipp guesthouse. Rooted in the celebratory atmosphere of Danish Midsummer, the ephemeral guesthouse unfolds across Vipp’s courtyard and garage as a spatial playhouse—an immersive installation inspired by the simple act of a picnic, where a vibrant plaid fabric is draped across the space and over Vipp’s furniture, shaping a shared landscape for rest, conversation, and play. In doing so, it transforms the guesthouse from a secluded retreat into a more communal, social environment—from guesthouse to playhouse.
