The Lofoten Islands are, in themselves, among the most enchanting places on Earth. Fishing villages floating above the Norwegian Sea, the endless silence, and the piercingly pure air create an atmosphere that words can hardly capture. It’s within this world that the VIPP Lofoten fits perfectly — a modern guesthouse that is not just a refuge, but an experience in itself.
The VIPP Philosophy
The Danish design brand VIPP first became known for a humble pedal bin. Since then, it has evolved into a lifestyle brand that embodies the trinity of functionality, material quality, and minimalist aesthetics in every project. The VIPP Guesthouse series is a natural extension of this philosophy — places where design meets human experience.
A House at the End of the World
VIPP Lofoten is a small building raised on stilts on Stormolla Island in northern Norway. It sits by the shore as if it had always been there — both modern and timelessly natural. Through its large glass panels, the fjord becomes part of the living space, while the restrained minimalist interior frames the landscape with quiet respect.
Architecture and Atmosphere
Designed by LOGG Arkitekter in collaboration with the world-renowned studio Snøhetta, the house was conceived not to hide from nature but to breathe with it. The combination of natural wood, raw stone, and dark-toned metal allows it to merge seamlessly into its surroundings.
Inside, everything is VIPP — from the furniture and kitchen to the lamps and textiles. Yet, the true luxury lies not in the design, but in the silence and simplicity.
Slow Living Beneath the Arctic Circle
VIPP Lofoten is not a hotel — it’s an experience. There’s no room service, no reception — just you, the sea, and the elements. You can prepare your own breakfast in the kitchen while fishing boats drift across the horizon, and at night, watch the Northern Lights through the panoramic windows.
This is a place where time slows down. Where design doesn’t shout, but serves. Where the Scandinavian way of life takes shape — and every moment is another breath of calm.
