\"Interior<\/div>\n

Danish designer Julie Cloos M\u00f8lsgaard has installed contemporary furniture inside a 14th-century townhouse in the south of France, turning it into a guesthouse<\/a> for homeware brand Vipp<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Vipp Townhouse is located in Lagrasse, a village in the Corbi\u00e8res region often named as one of the prettiest places in France.<\/p>\n

M\u00f8lsgaard<\/a>‘s renovation sees the centuries-old house updated with statement pieces including a red marble shower, a sculptural staircase and an aluminium kitchen.<\/p>\n

It becomes the 12th guesthouse for Vipp<\/a>, as the Danish homeware brand continues its expansion into the hospitality sector.<\/p>\n

As with other Vipp guesthouses, the interior design centres around the brand’s product range. Other elements were chosen by M\u00f8lsgaard to reflect the building’s history and setting.<\/p>\n

“We looked to a focused set of materials: wood, stainless steel, marble, plastered walls and coarse pebble floors,” said the Copenhagen-based designer.<\/p>\n

“The idea was to create a sense of calm and coherence, a home that respects its surroundings and lets the history of the space form the foundation of design.”<\/p>\n

\"Living

M\u00f8lsgaard began by reorganising the building layout, creating three floors that each have their own character.<\/p>\n

The ground floor, which faces the town square, serves as a reception and lounge space. The first floor is now the kitchen and dining room, backing onto a roof terrace, while a bedroom occupies the uppermost floor.<\/p>\n
