Danish homeware brand Vipp has converted an old pencil factory into a pop-up supper club venue.
The former Viking pencil factory is now home to a private dining space that seats up to 26 guests. The showroom is roughly 400 square meters and will launch during the annual 3 Days of Design festival. The venue will host special guests from around the world who will cook for the invited diners.
The space was designed by interior designer Julie Cloos Mølsgaard, who combined Vipp accessories, contemporary furniture, and local design pieces to create a sophisticated dining room. Mølsgaard made the industrial space feel inviting and comfortable by using wooden furniture and tactile fabrics to soften the space.
