In Norway’s remote Lofoten archipelago, where jagged peaks plunge into Arctic waters, Danish design house Vipp has unveiled its newest architectural escape: a striking timber guesthouse on Storemolla island. Designed in collaboration with LOGG ARKITEKTER, the stilted structure rises lightly above the rocky shoreline, echoing traditional rorbuer fishing cabins while introducing a refined, modern Scandinavian aesthetic.

The property forms part of True North Lofoten Village, a visionary hospitality community masterplanned by Snøhetta and composed of contemporary cabins by leading Norwegian architects. Rather than dominating the scenery, each structure practices restraint, letting the raw landscape — moss-covered rocks, whitecaps, wind, and sky — take center stage.

‘Our intention was to dissolve the boundary between shelter and seascape,’ says architect Diederik Advocaat Clausen. Large glazing frames sweeping ocean views, while the weathered wood facade blends into the elemental surroundings. Minimalist interiors feature Vipp’s signature industrial-meets-natural palette, proving once again that the brand’s product-driven hospitality concept — consistent design, dramatically different settings — continues to resonate.

True North aims to redefine Arctic tourism through low-impact luxury, maintaining wild terrain between cabins to preserve the natural ecosystem. For Vipp, the Lofoten property marks its 13th destination, reinforcing its mission to turn travel into immersive design exploration.

With room for four guests and rates starting at $1,929 per night (two-night minimum), this is Scandinavian escapism at its peak — quiet, cinematic, and profoundly connected to nature.
