Danish brand Vipp is taking

a seat at design’s top table

or a brand that prizes longevity over novelty, Vipp has

had a proliic decade. Originally a manufacturer of

pedal bins and bathroom accessories, the Danish irm

made an entry into the kitchen market in 2012, with

a modular, stainless steel design that can be taken out

and travel with the owner if they relocate (W*157).

Alongside came a tableware collaboration with Danish

ceramicist Annemette Kissow, marking Vipp’s irst

experiments with ceramics and glassware. Then there

was a prefabricated shelter, launched in 2015 – a steel

cabin with loor-to-ceiling glass living areas, a kitchen,

bathroom and loft bedroom (W*191) – followed

by a lighting collection. The same year, Vipp added to

its concept store on Copenhagen’s Ny Østergade with

a showroom in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District,

F signalling the brand’s ambitions in the US market. (^) »
