A few years ago, the Danish kitchen and home accessories brand Vipp built a prototype plug-and-play woodland shelter in Sweden to introduce customers to the qualities of its products (W*191). It became so popular with clients that the brand decided to initiate a series of one-roomed ‘hotel’ residences, ostensibly for guests to experience the pleasures of its high-end kitchens before making what might be a once-in-a-lifetime investment in buying one. ‘We were inspired by the car industry, where you always do a test drive before choosing the final model,’ explains Vipp’s CEO Kasper Egelund. But, he adds, it’s also about ‘giving people an extraordinary experience’ through good design.

几年前，丹麦厨房和家庭配件品牌ViPP在瑞典建立了一个原型即插即用的林地庇护所，向客户介绍其产品的质量（W*191）。客户认为，品牌决定启动一系列单人间的“酒店”住宅，表面上是为了让客人体验到高端厨房的乐趣，然后再做一次终身投资。“我们受到了汽车工业的鼓舞，在选择最终模型之前，你总是做一个测试驱动”，维普的首席执行官KasperEgelund解释说。但是，他补充说，通过良好的设计，它也是“给人一个非凡的体验”。

The first ‘Vipp hotel’ opened in 2017 in a 400 sq m loft above the company’s Copenhagen HQ, with interiors by David Thulstrup, the Danish designer best known for his work for René Redzepi’s Noma restaurant (W*229). ‘The job David did at the Vipp Loft was brilliant,’ says Egelund. ‘He completely understood our vision for the hotel and has the capacity to unfold it.’

第一家名为Vipp的酒店于2017年开业，位于该公司哥本哈根总部上方400平方米的阁楼上，内饰由丹麦设计师大卫·苏尔斯特鲁普(David Thulstrup)设计，他最著名的作品是雷内·雷德泽皮(RenéRedzepi)的诺马餐厅(W*229)。埃格伦德说：“大卫在维普阁楼所做的工作非常出色。”“他完全理解我们对酒店的愿景，并有能力展开它。”

Which is why Vipp turned to him again for its next project, the Vipp Chimney House. The task this time was to restore a 1902 pumping station, complete with its own 35m-high chimney, near the harbour in the northern part of Copenhagen. To turn the building into a two-bedroom residence, Thulstrup and his team added a second floor and set a monolithic concrete box within the old brick frame, opening up the building with big windows through the original arches so you can ‘read the building from the inside to the outside and vice versa’, explains Thulstrup.

这就是为什么维普再次转向他的下一个项目，维普烟囱屋。这次的任务是修复一座1902年的抽水站，在哥本哈根北部的海港附近有一个35米高的烟囱。Thulstrup解释说，为了把这栋建筑变成一座两居室的住宅，Thulstrup和他的团队增加了一层二楼，并在旧砖墙框架内设置了一个整体混凝土盒子，用大窗户从原来的拱门打开，这样你就可以“从里面读到外面，反之亦然”，Thulstrup解释道。

Inside, the various materials, colours and furnishings were chosen and designed to complement Vipp’s products – specifically its graphite-coloured, powder-coated steel modular kitchen. All in all, the Chimney House has the makings of a home-from-home that will be very hard to leave.§

在内部，各种材料、颜色和家具被选择和设计来补充 Vipp 的产品- 特别是它的石墨色、粉末涂层的钢制模块化厨房。 总之，烟囱屋有一个家庭的组成，将是一个很难离开。§ 。
