A factory that used to make the classic Viking pencils used by Danish schoolchildren is now home to a one-room hotel. The idea was conceived by the Danish household goods company Vipp.

The 90-square-metre accommodation is located on the ground floor of the factory and is accessed via a sunny courtyard. The Vipp Pencil Case is one of six accommodations that Vipp has created for travelers who are design enthusiasts. Among the others are a prefab cabin on the shores of Lake Immeln in Sweden and Vipp Farmhouse, an 18th century house on the Danish island of Lolland.

The interiors[/B] of Vipp Pencil Case were designed, working for a year, by Danish designer Julie Cloos Molsgaard. At the core of the accommodation, an all-light space that functions as a living room and dining room. To one side, a grey-tinted version of Vipp's V1 kitchen, where guests prepare their meals


Plush baskets, ceramic vases and contemporary artwork are scattered throughout as decoration. On the other side of the room, a large oak dining table with a surface of Jura limestone the stone from Germany is now in high demand, worldwide and a number of cabinets with additional cooking utensils and crockery.

Vipp Pencil Case is not the usual hotel room more like a studio or atelier, it exudes an artistic atmosphere and, in the heart of the Danish capital, has a rare quietness explains Molsgaard.


The former Viking factory is located on Brygge Island and the Vipp Pencil Case is Vipp's second intervention in the building. Late last year, he converted another part of the factory into a supper club, where chefs from around the world offer fine dining experiences.
