The Vipp Shelter

architecture

A Wallpaper* Design Award 2015 winner for Best Brand Extension, the Vipp Shelter is a minimalist prefabricated house designed by Danish design company Vipp. This monochromatic 55m2 structure is designed to be placed in the natural setting of your choice. Furniture, appliances, lighting, tableware and towels have already been picked out and will be waiting for you on your first arrival, six months after you place your order. It contains a large kitchen with a dining and living area, a hall, separate bathroom and a stunning loft space.

Morten Bo Jensen, Vipp’s Chief Designer, explains:

We see the house as a product (such as a caravan, yacht, private jet, etc.) and not as a piece of architecture—hence the name “shelter”. The design is completely fixed and everything down to the smallest detail is designed in advance.

75 years of experience with steel processing is used to craft this prefabricated object designed to perfection. The only choice left to the customer is where to place it. So it is neither a house nor a mobile home. Rather it is a spacious, functional, and liveable industrial object. Amazing.
